At the end of his short life, Franz Schubert impressively illustrated, in his collections of 'Impromptus' and 'Moments musicaux', how lyrical-songlike form could be rendered on the piano. Nothing can...

At the end of his short life Franz Schubert impressively illustrated, in his collections of 'Impromptus' and 'Moments musicaux', how lyrical-songlike form could be rendered on the piano. The Impromptu...

As their title suggests, Franz Schubert's 'Moment musicaux' are quite short pieces - shorter than his 'Impromptus'. Six pieces in various moods and of moderate difficulty are collected under the opus...

Debussy had originally planned the work with the Suite bergamasque (HN 381) in mind, but then published it separately in October 1904, with good reason. He was so taken with the brilliance and inventi...

'Have you played the Images ...? Without undue vanity, I believe that these three pieces can hold their own and will assume a place in the piano literature ... to the left of Schumann or to the right...

The cycle with three movements, composed at the end of 1907 and published at the beginning of the next year, contains a singular innovation: Debussy notated the highly differentiated piano part that g...

Debussy composed this cycle, and other masterful late works, in the summer of 1915. He had withdrawn to a country house near Dieppe with his family and composed with fevered concentration. The self-cr...

The great pianist Paul Badura-Skoda counts the first movement of this B-flat major sonata K. 333 as 'among the most beautiful … in the piano literature.' And who would want to contradict him? What a p...

Those wishing to get to know Mozart's gentle, slightly elegiac side should play the opening movement of this lesser-known piano sonata K. 570. The second movement, too, marries the calm strains of hor...

Alongside the opera 'Der Freischütz', Weber's 'Invitation to the Dance' in D flat major op. 65 is his most famous work. In the 19th century, Weber's spirited piece was considered the virtual incarnati...

Chopin composed his piano concertos around 1829/30, which means that to a certain extent they are the climax and conclusion of his student years in Warsaw. Both works are early masterpieces with which...
