The 10 Best Pieces ever Written for Piano • 00:00 MOZART - 'RONDO ALLA TURCA' (Giovanni Umberto Battel) • One of the best-known piano pieces of all time, the Rondò imitates the sound of Turkish military bands, with repeated notes, ornaments, and loud/soft passages. It’s a playful, cheerful tune that reflects Mozart’s personality. • 03:55 BEETHOVEN - MOONLIGHT SONATA (Rogerio Tutti) • We’re all familiar with the heart-tugging first movement of this Sonata - also known as ‘Quasi una fantasia’, almost a fantasy - but the thunderous, technically demanding third movement is often overlooked. • 09:31 LISZT - LIEBESTRAUM NO. 3 (Giovanni Umberto Battel) • Liebesträume (German for ‘Dreams of Love’) is a set of three solo piano works, inspired by poems by Ludwig Uhland and Ferdinand Freiligrath. Liebestraum No. 3, the last of the three that Liszt wrote, is titled ‘O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst’ (love as long as you can). It’s the most touching and passionate composition of the set, as it based on love beyond life. • 15:17 CHOPIN - NOCTURNE IN E-FLAT MAJOR OP. 9, NO. 2 (Rogerio Tutti) • Written when Chopin was only 20, the Nocturne is at once delicate and tumultuously passionate; a gradual build up culminating in a dramatic ending, often named as the most beautiful piano piece ever composed. • 19:42 DEBUSSY - CLAIR DE LUNE (Rogerio Tutti) • ‘Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.’, Chopin once said. That may be why it took Debussy no less than fifteen years to write the final movement of his Suite Bergamasque. • 24:35 SCHUMANN - SCENES FROM CHILDHOOD (Giovanni Umberto Battel) • Schumann’s Kinderszenen are a collection of piano miniatures filled with nostalgia and longing for simpler times - from bedtime stories and lullabies to chasing games and fantasies. The most famous, ‘Traumerei’, is especially heart-warming and comforting. • 32:51 TCHAIKOVSKY - THE SEASONS: JUNE (Vadim Chaimovich) • The Seasons was commenced shortly after the premiere of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, and continued while he was completing his first ballet, Swan Lake. Each piece depicts a month of the year in Russia, with June being perhaps the most popular. • 38:08 BEETHOVEN - SONATA PATHÉTIQUE (Luke Faulkner) • Story has it that Beethoven’s publisher was so impressed with the Sonata’s tragic sonorities that he suggested they named it ‘Pathétique’. The debate is still open as to whether the main theme of the Adagio was inspired by Mozart’s Piano Sonata No. 14. • 43:54 CHOPIN - REVOLUTIONARY ÉTUDE, OP. 10 NO. 12 (Rogerio Tutti) • Famously inspired by the failed Polish revolution against Russia, the Étude is an outpouring of grief. Chopin, unable to participate in the revolution due to his poor health, was devastated by the destruction of Warsaw, and left soon afterwards, never to return home again. • All the best classical music ever on one channel: Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy, Wagner, Strauss, Vivaldi, Brahms and many more!
