Padre Júlio Gritti

Padre Júlio Gritti 60º ANIVERSÁRIO DE ORDENAÇÃO SACERDOTAL Júlio Gritti, Nasceu a 29 de Julho de 1924, no norte de Itália na localidade de Colono-al-Sério na província de Bergamo. Nasceu de uma família muito religiosa. Nasceram 12 filhos, mas 4 morreriam ainda em tenra idade. Os seus pais eram comerciantes, tinham um bar onde vendiam vinhos e licores. Negocio já herdado dos seus avós, mas pouco lucrativo nessa altura. A sua mãe não dispensava a santa missa diariamente. Para que isso fosse possível iniciava as suas tarefas às 5:30 da manhã.. O seu pai costumava contar que fez um contrato com Nosso Senhor, dizia que dos 8 filhos que tinha, daria 4 a Deus e os outros 4 seriam para ele, e realmente assim viria a acontecer. Foram ordenados 2 padres e 2 irmãs religiosas, e os outros 4 casaram. Júlio Gritti foi baptizado na igreja de Colono-al-Sério. O seu chamamento à vida sacerdotal começou a surgir bastante cedo. Aos 3 anos de idade, ficou amigo de Francesco, amigo que o acompanharia até aos 26 anos de idade. Entraram aos mesmo tempo para o infantário orientado pelas religiosas, e seguiram a escola juntos. A verdadeira vontade de ser sacerdote começou a ganhar mais força quando decidiu ser acólito, pois os seu amigo Francesco já o era a algum tempo. Francesco também tinha 2 irmãos seminaristas, um irmão já padre e uma irmã freira. A sua terra natal é muito religiosa, e os números o podem provar. Consagrados ainda vivos naturais de Colono-al-Sério: - 30 Sacerdotes e mais de 60 ...

Sommernachtskonzert Schönbrunn der Wiener Philharmoniker 2.6.2011

Das Sommernachtskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker entwickelte sich in den letzten sieben Jahren zu einem vom Publikum hoch geschätzten und liebgewonnenen Event der Sonderklasse. Während man für das Neujahrskonzert ein Jahr vor dem Ereignis um Karten kämpfen muss, ist dieses Open Air Event für alle bei freiem Eintritt zugänglich. Auch dieses Konzert wird bereits in mehr als 60 Länder ausgestrahlt. "Virtuose Bilder" ist das Thema des diesjährigen Sommernachtskonzertes in der traumhaften Kulisse des Schönbrunner Schlossparkes. Auf dem Programm stehen Werke des Jahresregenten Franz Liszt, Modest Mussorgskys "Bilder einer Ausstellung" und der erste Satz von Niccolò Paganinis Violinkonzert Nr. 1 in D-Dur. Die Leitung des Sommernachtskonzerts 2011 übernimmt nach 2007 bereits zum zweiten Mal der russische Stardirigent Valery Gergiev. Er dirigiert im Anschluss Abonnementkonzerte der Wiener Philharmoniker im Wiener Musikverein, was seine enge Zusammenarbeit mit den "Wienern" dokumentiert. Valery Gergiev ist einer der derzeit gefragtesten Dirigenten der Welt. In Russland gilt er bereits als Held, als Superstar, da es sein Verdienst war und ist, das legendäre Kirovtheater in St. Petersburg nach dem Untergang der Sowjetunion zu retten. Mehr als das! Das seit 1992 wieder in Mariinsky-Theater umbenannte Opernhaus an der Newa ist unter seiner rastlosen Führung eines der weltweit gefeiertsten Ensembles.

Ein\' feste Burg ist unser Gott, ein\' gute Wehr und Waffen; er hilft uns frei aus aller Not, die uns jetzt hat betroffen. Der alt\' böse Feind, mit Ernst er\'s jetzt meint, groß\' Macht und viel List sein\' grausam\' Rüstung ist, auf Erd\' ist nicht seins Gleichen. 2. Mit unsrer Macht ist nichts getan, wir sind gar bald verloren; es streit\' für uns der rechte Mann, den Gott hat selbst erkoren. Fragst du, wer der ist? Er heißt Jesus Christ, der Herr Zebaoth, und ist kein andrer Gott, das Feld muß er behalten. 3. Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär und wollt uns gar verschlingen, so fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr, es soll uns doch gelingen. Der Fürst dieser Welt, wie sau\'r er sich stellt, tut er uns doch nicht; das macht, er ist gericht\': ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen. 4. Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn und kein\' Dank dazu haben; er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan mit seinem Geist und Gaben.

Four Vocalizations - Gioacchino Rossini

Gioachino Rossini - Il turco in Italia - Ouverture (Neville Marriner)

I am returning, after quite a bit of time, to my comedic collection with excepts from one of Rossini\'s most "Shakespearean" comedies, "Il turco in Italia". "Il turco" was commissioned by the famed La Scala for the autumn season of 1814. Although only 22 at the time of composition, Gioachino Rossini had already reached great esteem as an operatic composer (having scored hits with several opere buffe as well as grander, more serious works, such as "Tancredi"), and the success of his "L\'italiana in Algeri" the year before spurred him to write a companion piece. Although the two cannot be considered sequels in the literal sense, the similarities are obvious: in "L\'italiana", amorous intrigues surround an Italian woman stranded in Algiers, while in "Il turco", a Turk arrives in Italy only to add himself to an existing love triangle (making a love quadrangle, perhaps?). Unfortunately for Rossini, the Milanese public was all too aware of these similarities and, although Rossini\'s score was every bit as fresh and inventive and his characterizations as well-drawn as those for "L\'italiana", they heartily disapproved. However, the quality of the score would eventually carry the day and, as Stendhal wrote in his biography of Rossini, the opera was revived just four years later to wild enthusiasm. In short, the opera involves the Pirandello-like theme of an author in search of six characters: here, the capricious married woman, Fiorilla (soprano); her buffoonish but sincere husband ...


You can download the score from the video: Four Vocalizations - Gioacchino Rossini

Gioachino Rossini - Tancredi - "Di tanti palpiti" (Ewa Podles, Vesselina Kasarova & Jennifer Larmore)

Not one compilation of Rossini\'s musical output would be complete without his first "hit tune": "Di tanti palpiti", the moderato section (a cabaletta of sorts) from the cavatina of Tancredi. In his biography of the Maestro, Stendhal wrote that the aria of Tancredi, known throughout Europe, was the most popular opera aria of its time... And also refered to as the "rice aria" because Rossini is supposed to have composed it while waiting for his risotto to cook one day in Venice (imagine: a hungry composer composing such a little masterpiece out of boredom :) )! The cavatina deals with Tancredi\'s return from exile Tancredi to defend his homeland against the Saracene besiegers (and to see Amenaide, of course). Although many recordings of the aria usually give us only the moderato, Tancredi\'s cavatina is actually a whole scene: an interlude (depicting Tancredi\'s boat dropping anchor in a port) - an impassioned recitative - a short (and rather boring) aria - a "cabaletta". It\'s also interesting to point out that the aria is quite "unrossinian" in character, it almost seems to come from another musical period: the moderato section could be attributed to any composer from the end of the 18th century. I decided to post only the "Di tanti palpiti" section for a number of reasons, chief amongst them being the fact that it is really the best part of Tancredi\'s cavatina. It\'s almost a suprise when it appears after the rather uninspired cantabile. I once had about ten versions of this ...

Ray Lev plays Schubert Sonata in C major D 840 "Reliquie"

completed by Ernst Krenek I. Moderato II. Andante (7:26) III. Menuetto - Allegretto (14:29) IV. Rondo - Allegro (18:09) Franz Schubert\'s Piano Sonata No. 15 in C major, D. 840, nicknamed Reliquie upon its first publication in 1861 in the mistaken belief that it had been Schubert\'s last work, was written in April 1825, whilst the composer was also working on the A minor sonata, D. 845 in tandem. Schubert abandoned the sonata, and only the first two movements of the sonata were fully completed, with the trio section of the third movement also written in full. The minuet section of the third movement is incomplete and contains unusual harmonic changes, which suggests it was there Schubert had become disillusioned and abandoned the movement and later the sonata. The final fourth movement is also incomplete, ending abruptly after 270 bars. The fragments of the sonata survived in Schubert\'s manuscripts, and later the work was collected and published in its incomplete form in 1861. Performances usually present only the two completed movements: 1.Moderato in C major 2.Andante in C minor Ernst Krenek wrote his completion at the request of his friend, the pianist and composer Eduard Erdmann, who wished to add the sonata to his repertoire. Krenek himself dated that request to 1922; other sources date his completion to 1921. Regardless, the work has appeared at least twice in that form on record: once in the aforementioned performance by Ray Lev on a set of 78 RPM disks issued by the ...

I have also learned Rachmaninoff's prelude in c # minor for my final recital.For the one coming up next, I want to lean a piece by a composer other than these, but I'm not sure where to start my searching haha.I want it to be challenging, but not impossible for my skill level.

BEST CLASSICAL MUSIC EVER!!? I am trying to find some beautiful classical music, but I have no idea where to start! I prefer solos, sonatas and small ensembles to symphonies or orchestra pieces. I love piano and violin. I'm not quite sure how to explain exactly what I want, but I'm looking for something deeply moving, beautiful, touching- something that gives you shivers!I have just been listening to the following three, which I like:Beethoven- Moonlight sonataLudovico Einaudi- PrimaveraChopin nocturne op.9 no.1 and 2 Any suggestions would be much appreciated. The more the merrier! List away....TIA :)
Pachelbel - Cannon in D major (Bach's version)Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.02 In C-Sharp MinorFranz Liszt - Liebestraum piano

canon in d major.. by pachenbel??... ahhh... river flows in you and kiss the rain by yiruma.... it's the best... i hope you'll like it cuz everyone in our school loves it...

Well you are off to a good start with Beethoven sonatas and Chopin nocturnes, the Einaudi thing is not really classical and not even very good.Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas are at the core of the classical piano repertoire. The first movement of the Moonlight is the best known, but the final movement is the best part of that particular work. You should look at the other "named" sonatas - Tempest, Pastoral, Waldstein, Les Adieux and Hammerclavier.Chopin's piano literature is perhaps the most poetic of all music written for the piano - the nocturnes are wonderful, but the Ballades and the Scherzos are more substantial works.Mozart wrote 27 piano concertos - that are pretty much all sublimely beautiful. His piano sonatas are also remarkable and his violin concertos (considering he wrote them all by the age of 21) are wonderful.Bach wrote a great deal of music - his pieces for the clavier, these days played most often on the piano, are beautiful and cerebral works - try the goldberg variations.

My favorite right now is Prelude in E minor by Chopin. It's very beautiful and haunting(especially if you get it off of an album called "Classics for the Heart" because it's a piano/violin duet thing, vs just the piano, and that makes it like 10x better). "Raindrop Prelude" is also by Chopin and it's also haunting, in a really subtle way. Well, basically anything by Chopin is pretty haunting aha. If you're into Christmas music, "Carol of the Bells".Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons: JUNE" is one of my favorite, favorite songs. It's really just wonderful. It's not really haunting in the middle, per se, but it is in and out.Consolation #3 by Franz Liszt. Nuf said."Meditations from Thais" is another violin/piano duet thing on "Classics for the Heart" I'm not really into this song, but I thought I'd suggest it. The Theme/Reprise from "Schindler's List" is pretty good, too. The Gluck/Kreisler "Melodie" is soo, soo good. It's mostly violin, I think you'll like it. I cannot reccomend this one enough, actually. Greensleeves, of course, everyone's favorite. It's a pretty addicting song.I know some people would disagree with me on this one, but "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach is a really nice, simple and light piano piece. Not exactly haunting, but I like it."Scarborough Fair" played on a harp is really nice. Basically any harp/flute combo is pretty, like "What Child Is This".Honestly, a lot of songs from Miyazki movies like "San & Ashitaka" and the Theme Song from Princess Mononoke; Reprise from Spirited Away, and "One Summer's Day" from Spirited Away are really good. I think they'd be right up your alley. I like the ones by Joe Hisaishi better than the songs from the actual soundtracks.I haven't actually gotten into Rachmaninoff, but I've heard about him and heard a little bit of his stuff. He probably has some good pieces if you look into him.I'm not a classical music expert, these are just the songs I really like. I hope you like them too. If I think of any more I'll add some!I forgot, the soundtrack from "Memoirs of a Geisha" has some haunting songs.

I'll recommend some music off the top of my head and group it according to how accessible I think it is.By "accessible," I mean relatively easier to appreciate by someone who isn't as experienced with classical music. These are all GREAT works. Maybe as you become more familiar with the listening process you can move on to some of the harder-to-swallow(but still great!) pieces.Pretty accessible:Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1Mendelssohn: Violin ConcertoBeethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5Beethoven: Symphony No. 5Beethoven: Symphony No. 7Dvorak: Symphony No. 9Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 1Copland: Appalachian SpringMussorgsky & Ravel: Pictures at an ExhibitionGrieg: Piano Concerto in A MinorA little more out there(still great music!!):Rimsky-Korsakov: ScheherazadeRachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2Sibelius: Symphony No. 1Barber: Adagio for StringsBeethoven: Symphony No. 9Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5Ravel: Piano Concerto in G MajorDebussy: Prelude to the Afternoon of a FaunWagner: Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und IsoldeVaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas TallisSerious listening(still great music!!):Stravinsky: Rite of SpringStravinsky: FirebirdBarber: Knoxville, Summer of 1915Berlioz: Symphonie FantastiqueMahler: Symphony No. 5Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10Ravel: Daphnis et ChloeRemember that classical music is different from all other types of music: You have to pay attention to it if you really want to enjoy it fully. It is like really engaging your mind and being absorbed by a work of art as opposed to just glancing at a cool-looking drawing. That is ESPECIALLY true with the pieces in the second and third categories.That brief list should provide you with many hours of enjoyment. If you would like some more recommendations, feel free to post here more or send me a message!P.S. Don't use youtube, no matter how tempting! The sound quality sucks and this great music doesn't deserve to be listened to on it. Use the local library or iTunes!

I do love Mozart's Fantasia in D minor (K397) - I always recommend it to those who like the Moonlight sonata.Liszt is good: Liebestraum and La CampanellaI'm more a woodwind person, so if you're insterested, clarinet and esp. oboe can me beautiful and moving... I always think Mozart is great.... There is a particular oboe quartet of Mozart that I like... its K370. Its pretty unusual in that in one movement the oboe plays in 4/4 while the string quartet stay in 6/8... Sounds crazy I know but it works! Cool huh!? Have a listen... you may like wind stuff too!

I have a LOT of favourite classical songs so i will give you ALL of them (in alphabetical order):1812 Overture by TchaikovskyAir on G String by BachAll of the Nutcracker Ballet Music by TchaikovskyAll of the Swan Lake Music by TchaikovskyBlue Danube by StraussBolero by Maurice Ravel Canon by PachebelClair de Lune by DebussyEine Kleina Nachtmusik by MozartElvira Madigan Piano Con. by MozartFantasy Overture From Romeo and Juliet byTchaikovskyFingels Cave by MendelssohnJupiter Symphony by MozartMoonlight Sonata by BeethovenNew World Symphony n.9-Adagio by Antonín Dvo?ákPastoral Symphony by BeethovenPathetique Sonata by BeethovenPizzicato from Sylvia by Léo DelibesThe Four Seasons Spring by VivaldiThe Four Seasons Autumn by VivaldiThe Four Seasons Summer by VivaldiWater Music Suite in F by HandelIf all this music to listen to it will be hard to pick the songs.

CALANDRA OBOE QUARTET Katie Bennington- Oboe Eleanor Bartlett - Violin Francesca Hunt - Viola Irene Celestino - \'Cello

Is the Mozart oboe sonata k. 370 in the 2010 NYSSMA manual? Can someone with a nyssma manual please help me. I want to play this song but my teacher does not have an updated manual and i need to check before i prepare this piece.thank you. My teacher is very qualified. She is currently getting her doctorate in oboe from the Eastman school and perhaps she does not want to spend the exorbitant amount of money that it costs to buy the whole nyssma manual.

See and download K. 370 (Mozart) music score

Yes. And it is not a *song* - it has no words. Level 6 - page 4-35. If your teacher does not have an updated Manual - and they came out in July of 2009, and you are planning for 2011 - then they are either NOT a *certified* music teacher in NY, lazy, or cheap - or a combination of the above. If they are planning on sending students to NYSSMA, then they MUST know what is in the Manual at every level - there is NO excuse. Having said that - I wonder what ELSE they do not know about NYSSMA, or woodwind teaching? They can be the greatest oboe player in the world - but if YOU are planning to do well at NYSSMA - and even audition for All-State - they you need a teacher who has a clue about how this system works. This might sound harsh - but I think you might realize how INCREDIBLY competitive this is, and OTHER students and teachers know every detail of the system, and how to best navigate it. Good luck . . .Added - let me get this right - your teacher is getting her doctorate, is teaching kids who are participating in NYSSMA - and will not spend $52 to get a Manual that is good for five years?? $10.40 a YEAR? Yup - I was right - CHEAP was one of my guesses. Does she GIVE you reeds, or give you xeroxes of music, because it is *too expensive*? I do not care is she is another Gomberg - this is WRONG. She does not have to even join NYSSMA - your HS teacher takes care of registering you. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP - and unprepared to teach her students. Tell her I said so. If I chose to use my real name here, she would know who I am.

Chopin - Étude Op. 10 No. 11 in E-flat major "Arpeggio"

Étude Op. 10, No. 11, in E-flat major, is a technical study composed by Frédéric Chopin. It is sometimes given the tiles Arpeggio-Study, and Guitar-Study. The chief difficulty addressed in this piece is the performance of extended arpeggiated chords. Throughout, the hands are required to stretch intervals as large as an octave plus a fifth. The melody, though usually the highest note of each chord, is often found in inner parts with higher parts simply being part of the accompaniment. This is especially the case in the final bars. The piece is also notable for its chromatic harmonies, daring at the time, and enharmonic shifts.

Frédéric Chopin (Etude, op.10 No.8)

Chopin - Étude Op. 10 No. 8 in F major "Sunshine"

Étude Op. 10, No. 8 in F major is a technical study composed by Frédéric Chopin. It has been nicknamed the "Sunshine" etude. This work follows on from No.7 as being primarily another work concerned with counterpoint. In this case, however, the principal melody is in the left hand, the secondary being embedded in the arpeggios of the right hand. As with many of the études, the work is divided into three sections bars 1-28, 29-60 and 61-95. The right-hand figuration is straightforward with the accent falling always on the first note of each group of four semi-quavers throughout the work. The main difficulty is that they must be played forte and legato at speed, ascending and descending sequentially over the keyboard. Due to the obligation to sustain the left-hand melody somehow whilst still keeping the right hand\'s figure clear, this presents a great difficulty. The central section (bars 29-60) features elaborations on the original figuration. The D minor lasts only 7 bars before undergoing an extended series of modulations right through to bar 60 the return to the main theme. This section contains a further exercise in hands moving in opposite and complementary directions (bars 42-47 and 53-60) this builds on the exercises in No.4. As with the opening section, the accent always falls on the first note of each group of four semi-quavers. The final section (bars 61-95) is a brief restatement of the opening theme with the transition into the coda beginning at bar 71. The coda ...

Chopin: Fantaisia, op.49

ISABEL MOURÃO plays CHOPIN FANTASIA OP. 49 (1/2) in 1953

Mourão played this piece at NY,1953, in her debut. It seems that she was somewhat nervous, but it´s WONDERFUL , creative and very original of the work. She is legendary, like the others brazilian pianists of the past that I put in my channel. She was 21 y old and this performance is very exquisite and sophisticated to a young lady. She can´t play nor teach anymore...

Chopin Preludes op. 28 no. 23 - Moderato

Hi, This is a live recording from a student recital I gave in December of 2010. On the program I had the following: Bach French Suite no. 4 in E flat Major i) Allemande ii) Courante iii) Sarabande iv) Gavotte v) Air vi) Gigue Chopin Preludes op. 28 (excerpts) 19) Vivace 20) Largo 21) Cantabile 22) Molto Agitato 23) Moderato 24) Allegro Appassionato Ravel Le Tombeau de Couperin i) Prelude ii) Fugue iii) Forlane iv) Rigaudon v) Menuet vi) Toccata I know the quality is so-so and that I made a few mistakes here and there (it was an hour long concert, so some small lapses were bound to happen).

Chopin Prelude in F Major? In the Chopin Prelude op 28 no 23, In measures 2, 6, 10, and 18 there is a trill with notes surrounding it. What is the best way to learn those trills with the notes surrounding it? Any other tips to learning the song would be helpful.

You can tried playing one meaure at a time,(i had trouble with that piece too) but i play with the recording and it really helps, try playing it with the recordings.

What level in piano am I at? I'm 14. Started playing when I was 6, quit when I was 9. Then I started again when I was 11 and I've still been playing since. Level 4 on Piano Adventures. About to start Fundamentals of Piano Theory level 5 on theory. Lately, I have played pieces such as Burgmuller's Le Retour Op. 100 No. 23, Chopin's Prelude in E minor Op. 28 No. 4, and Clementi's Sonatina Op. 36 No. 2
I Think that maybe you're in second, or third year of piano; because i am playing Op Sonatina de Clementi. 36 N º 2 too, and i am in second year. But you should talk to a teacher for you class and retake the instrument again.Good Luck!

I need some suggestions please about new pieces? I am looking for a new peice to play for my boyfriend. He gets home from deployment next month and I want a piece that will make him cry and sound really romantic. Could you please suggest some peices that you think he would like? He loves to hear my music and there are some pieces he cant get enough of when i play them, for example: Chopin:Nocturne in Emin op72 no1Nocturne No. 20 in C # minOp. 28, No. 4 (Prelude) Raindrop Prelude Nocturne op.9 No.1 Beethoven:"Moonlight Sonata" (1st Movement) G.Handel: Sarabande in D minor Mozart:Piano Concerto No. 23 in ACould you please suggest some compositions somewhat similar to these?Thank you !!!!!!!
Liberstraum "Dream of love" by Franz Liszt is one of the great romantic pieces for piano. Another peice I could recomend is Gershwin's pinao concerto in F major, third movement. It's romanitc in a jazzy NY kind of romance if that makes sense.

If he's coming home from deployment he's going to want sex not Chopin. Maybe he wants to shake hands with old Ben Franklin. Or maybe you should shake hands. WInk Wink.

I adore Back's cantata no. 140, although my recording is for strings. If you can find music for the piano, I think it would sound great. Check out this link.

Hm..... great pieces, all of them. Try these:Chopin: (I love and adore him so anything is great but these stand out):Fantasie-ImpromptuAny one of the Valses (My favorite is Op. 64 #1)Dvorjak:Slavonic dance (simple but very pretty)Tchiakovsky:Pathetique (Amazing)Handel:Largo (again, simple but pretty)I would listen to them first and them pick one you like :)

Some of the suggestions above are faaaaaaaaaaar too difficult for you if that's your repertoire.Brian's suggestions make sense.Scriabin has a two page sad, sad, tearjerking etude. You can play it.youtube.com/watch?v=NSsKJIzwapAThe music:sheetmusicarchive.net/compositions_b/etude2_1.pdfFantasie-Impromptu??? Make him cry???GOOD LUCK!

op.71 No.2 (Chopin)

Mark Hambourg plays Chopin Polonaise in B flat major Op. 71 No. 2

recorded in 1928 Mark Hambourg (1 June 1879 -- 26 August 1960) was a distinguished Russian-British concert pianist, among the most famous of his age. Mark Hambourg was born in Boguchar. He commenced performing in 1888, in Moscow, and soon began performing throughout the major cities of Europe. His principal piano studies were in Vienna with Theodor Leschetizky. Eventually Hambourg settled in London, England and, along with occasional orchestral engagements, he primarily focused on recital-giving. Between about 1909 and 1933, Hambourg recorded copiously for the Gramophone Company (HMV). Reissues of some of Hambourg\'s recordings have appeared on compact discs from Pearl and from Arbiter. Hambourg died in Cambridge, England on August 26, 1960.

I'm not sure which nocturne you mean.According to my book, op. 15 no. 1 is in F major and no. 2 is in F# major.They are both in ABA form, and it's simpler than you may think.In both pieces, the sections are marked by tempo changes.In F major, no. 1, the three sections are at the beginning, at Con fuoco, ms. 25, and at Tempo Io, ms. 49.Notice the rest after the dominant seventh in ms. 24. Douglass Green, author of Form in Tonal Music, would call this a "broken cadence."Also notice the French sixth in ms. 64.In F# major, no. 2, the three sections are at the beginning, Doppio movimento at ms. 25, and at Tempo Io on the upbeat to ms. 49.

Muzio Clementi (1752-1832) was born in Italy and lived most of his life in England. He is often regarded as the "father of modern piano playing", who lived at a time when the pianoforte was rapidly evolving into the more modern 19th-century piano. Clementi was influenced by such composers as Scarlatti and Haydn and taught John Field (who influenced Chopin). Clementi was also involved with music publishing and the production of pianos.

Mazurka, op.56 No.3 (Chopin)

REMAKE: Chopin: Mazurka op 56 no 3

This is my best clip of 2010 (the Chopin anniversary) so I decided to make an overhaul and remake of it, making the sound finally reach decent quality. I had technical problems when recording it in October, not being able to reach acceptable compression levels in my MP3 data (resulting in a poor "plastic" sound), and also problems for many (including myself) with hangups/hiccups during playback. After a lot of discussions (both offline and at youtube) I found out the real trick for producing this kind of clips: You must give priority to the sound! The sound and the video (visuals) compete for every 0 and 1 in the data, and we are on the internet now, and data speed is restricted! So I have now applied rather heavy compression on the visual stream, reducing the number of visual 0s and 1s..., and voila you get enough room for 128 kbps MP3 sound, in a video with far below 10 MB/minute data. So it should be viewable on slow internet connections as well. I have had critical remarks on the relevance of spending time with this ("there are no bad pianos, only bad pianists") but I strongly disagree. Sound recording should be done appropriately and a decent musical performance deserves a good instrument and recording technique. Regarding the music: One of my favourite mazurkas. Like several of the later mazurkas it contains polyphonical passages which I find very interesting, and very beautiful.

Chopin Nocturne Op. 55 no. 2? Does anyone else find this piece extremely beautiful? I can't stop listening to it. Compared to the other nocturnes this one is simpler, but its not played often. Why don't people regard this piece at the top of the nocturnes like op.27 op.41 and op.9?

Download sheet music online: Chopin (op.41 No.2)

Because it is more difficult than one would think. There are two concurrent melodies in the right hand that weave in and out. But at least they are more popular than the op. 41 Nocturnes, because the op. 41 Nocturnes are so popular as to be nonexistent.The old 78 rpm recording of the op. 55 no. 2 by Polish pianist Ignaz Friedman is considered by many to be one of the finest recordings ever made of a Chopin piece, if not of any piano piece, period.youtube.com/watch?v=iYuXYE3MpiQ

This is one of my favorite Chopin nocturnes. It's not simpler though, that's for sure. I've played this one and it is pretty tough. My favorite part is the end. It sounds like little drops of water trickling down. On top of that, it's interesting counterpoint. If you listen there are various voices. In fact, this might be my absolute favorite nocturne, though I'm not too sure.
