Schönberg’s publisher Emil Hertzka provided the impetus for composition of the Piano Piece op. 33a in 1928. In fact, he had merely asked for permission to print an older work in the collection Musik d...

This work, in two movements and dating from 1804, is clearly among the lesser-known of Beethovens 32 piano sonatas. The lack of a sonata-movement form, the old-fashioned heading 'In Tempo d'un Menuett...

Beethoven gave this sonata the unusual title 'Sonata quasi una Fantasia,' which it shares, along with its opus number, with the considerably more famous 'Moonlight' Sonata. Both sonatas - along with t...

One of Chopin's most radical compositions, the B minor Scherzo leaves hardly any listener untouched. The wild main section, interspersed with brutal dissonances, frames the intimate trio, in which Cho...

Chopin's Scherzo no. 3 was connected to his legendary winter in Mallorca in 1838/39, as were his Préludes op. 28. On 22 January 1839, the composer sent the autograph of the latter work to Camille Pley...

Given Saint-Saëns' talents both as pianist and composer, it stood to reason that he would engage with the piano concerto genre early on. But he gave a clear renunciation of the 'concerto brilliant' th...

Despite its unusual form - a structure with two sections, each comprising two movements that are to be played without interruption - this work from 1875 enjoyed great success from the start. In its ba...

Charles Valentin Alkan's cycle of variations Le Festin d'Ésope derives from his monumental series of etudes op. 39, the 12 Études dans tous les Tons Mineurs, and forms the culmination of that work. No...

En los "Nocturnos" para orquesta y coro femenino, compuestos entre 1897 y 1899, Debussy hace realidad su concepto de que la forma musical debe surgir libremente del material. Con la estructura tripart...

Bach/Busoni: un binomio que acelera el corazón de los pianistas. Esto se debe a que Busoni consiguió hacer transcripciones para piano de obras que Bach había hecho originalmente a medida para otro ins...

Las 22 sonatas para piano de Schubert esbozan una imagen muy esclarecedora del compositor prematuramente fallecido y de su trayectoria compositiva. Desde los primeros intentos del talentoso músico de...

Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini was his last and at the same time most significant work for piano and orchestra. As a cycle of variations on Paganini's 24th Caprice from op. 1, i...

With his Études-Tableaux Rachmaninoff continued down the path that Chopin and Liszt had already set out on with their concert etudes: the most demanding technical tasks are presented in the form of ex...

In Schubert's cheerful E flat major Sonata, the listener is unaware that the composer struggled for a long time to arrive at its final version. Initial sketches date back to 1817, then still in a thre...

The B major Sonata numbers among Schubert's early piano sonatas. Composed in August 1817, it was not published until long after his death. The unusual key (for its time) shows the young Schubert's del...

The epithet "English Suites" - as with the "French Suites" - did not originate with Bach himself. In contrast to the six intimate French Suites, Bach's English Suites adopt a grander tone, each one op...

Liszt understood a "rhapsody" to signify the highest degree of musical freedom: a constant process of transformation and variation of themes and motifs, all bound up with constant shifts of emotion. A...

Volume I of Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage, entitled Suisse, is based on impressions he gathered during an extended sojourn in Switzerland in 1835/36. The most important piece of the collection, first p...

The Five Piano Pieces op. 23 are a transitional work in which Schönberg made the decisive step from free atonal music to composition based on tone rows, which however did not yet necessarily have to c...

Bach's Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903 and 903a is one of his most fascinating works. It was apparently already greatly admired during his lifetime, for it survives in numerous copies which presen...

This rondo for piano was composed in 1794/95 and has become known primarily by its sobriquet "The rage over the lost penny". However, this did not originate with the composer himself, but rather added...

En el segundo volumen, Italie, publicado en 1858, de la trilogía Années de pèlerinage, los grandes nombres del arte y la poesía italianos ocupan un lugar central. Entre ellos se encontraba también Pet...

Charles Valentin Alkan centró toda su obra en el piano, y difícilmente se puede llenar la página más densamente de notas de lo que lo hizo Alkan. Con ello se cuenta entre los virtuosos del piano que d...

En el segundo volumen, "Italie", del tríptico "Années de pèlerinage", que vio la luz en 1858, los grandes nombres del arte y la poesía italianos ocupan un lugar central. Entre ellos figura también Dan...
