Schumann: String Quartet in A minor, Op.41 No.1 mvt I

See more on plushmusic.tv In 1842 Robert Schumann wrote to Clara complaining about the increasing limitations of the piano as a vessel for his ideas, and the need to attack different instruments and genres. What followed was a spectacular year of inspiration that yielded all of his most famous chamber works including the set of three string quartets, of which the A minor is the first. He had studied the great quartets of Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn in depth, simultaneously building up a well of ideas that exploded onto the page in record time. The A minor took just a week to be sketched and formed, and three months and much rehearsal later, recieved its premiere as a gift to Clara on her 23rd birthday. The Merel Quartet performed this to a sold out crowd on a warm summer evening at the Music at Plush festival.

Sir Winston Churchill - Funeral (I Vow To Thee)

Spread the word of true greatness. Forward to a friend. Day of Sorrow Sir Winston Churchill 1874 - 1965 I Vow To Thee My Country - Gustav Holst Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS (30 November 1874 -- 24 January 1965) was a British politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister twice (1940--45 and 1951--55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. To date, he is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.[1] Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jenny Jerome, an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and through books he wrote about his campaigns.

Consolations for Piano, S.172 by Franz Liszt

Franz LISZT Consolation No 2, S 172 - Michel Mananes Live Recording

Michel Mañanes study piano in France, Spain and Austria. With recitals for Europa and Southamerica specially. He won first prize in several young piano competitions. He is Piano Teacher in Madrid and continue to give concerts.Rachmaninov moment musical. classical concert pianist. michelmananes.com Michel Mañanes has obtained, recently, the University Title of "Expert in Pianistic Interpretation", gotten with "Cum Laudae" by Unanimous vote (International University of Andalusia) The Liszt Consolations are fragments of pure Lisztian life and color. Liszt wrote the consolations around 1849-1850. Nobody's quite sure where the title Consolations comes from - the most likely explanation is that Liszt was inspired by some volume of poetry or other. Liszt had actually had brainwaves for the Consolations a lot earlier than the year of publication (1850). One of them even dates all the way back to 1844! There are 6 Consolations. Since they're so small they sound best when played end-to-end (the tempo indications also suggest this is the proper way to play them), although a lot of pianists choose to only perform one or two. Out of all of them, number 6 is the most appropriate for performance as a standalone piece. The key signatures hardly change from piece to piece, and in fact remind me of a kind of ABA structural arc (first section E Major, second section D-Flat Major, third section E Major). Consolation No.2: Un poco piu mosso (E Major) A gentle, floating melody is framed by ...

Liszt Consolation no. 3 performed on Liszt's 1862 Bechstein Piano

Sandro Russo plays Liszt's Consolation No. 3 on the 1862Bechstein Liszt Piano. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, Bechstein piano serial #576, originally delivered to Franz Liszt on March 17, 1862, has arrived in New York. The piano was on display at the Bechstein America corporate headquarters on 58th Street in Manhattan. Ongoing celebrations of this remarkable piece of music history have so far included performances by renowned artists to a sold-out gala tribute to Liszt at Bechstein Centre. In a personal letter penned to Carl Bechstein, Liszt said... "For 28 years I have now used your pianos, and they have maintained their superiority. In a word, your instruments are perfect." Presentation of this famous instrument gave music historians, Liszt lovers, and pianists of all levels and backgrounds a rare opportunity to see an exquisite representation of German handcraftmanship and offered insights into the manufacturing techniques and technology of 19th century piano building.

Robert Schumann: Three Poems, Op.30

"Chopin" from Schumann,s "Carnaval" played by Danniela Chuprik

Robert Schumann. German composer and music critic. He made the first comments on the topic of Chopin's music in an enthusiastic review of Variations in B flat major, op. 2, published in Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung on 7 December 1831. This review contained the famous sentence: 'Gentlemen hats off, [here is] a genius'. The very subtle and poetic interpretation of the piece was not recognised by Chopin, however the two composers did maintain friendly relations, especially during the 1830s. Schumann composed a musical portrait of Chopin in his Carnival and also dedicated Kreisleriana to him, the Polish composer in turn dedicated his Ballade in F major to Schumman. Schumann published numerous and invariably enthusiastic discussions of Chopin's works in his Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (among others: May 1836: Piano Concertos; December 1837: Etudes, op. 25; December 1838: Impromptu op. 29, Mazurkas op. 30, Scherzo op. 31; 1841: Sonata in B flat minor). These reviews sometimes kept in the form of a dialogue are written in a poetic language typical of the time and above all underline the novelty as well as individuality of Chopin's style. He often calls Chopin's pieces 'tremendous' or 'awe-inspiring' and occasionally compares them to works of other composers he valued highly such as Beethoven or Schubert. Critical aspects appear only as a matter of exception in Schumann's reviews (finale of Sonata in B flat minor). Valuable comments regarding Chopins creativity and works are ...

I do not own anything. Great Lyrics ! Yeah I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now But hey, what daddy always tell you? Straighten up little soldier Stiffen up that upper lip What you crying about? You got me.. Hailie, I know you miss your mom And I know you miss your dad when I'm gone But I'm trying to give you the life that I never had I can see you're sad Even when you smile Even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes Deep inside, you wanna cry Cuz you're scared I ain't there? Daddy's with you in your prayers No more crying Wipe them tears Daddy's here No more nightmares We gonna pull together through it We gon' do it Laney, uncle's crazy ain't he? Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it We're all we got in this world When it spins When it swirls When it whirls When it twirls Two little beautiful girls Looking puzzled, in a daze I know it's confusing you Daddy's always on the move Mama's always on the news I try to keep you sheltered from it But somehow it seems, the harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me All the things, growing up As daddy that he had to see Daddy don't want you to see But you see just as much as he did That we did not plan it to be this way You're mother and me But things have got so bad between us I don't see us ever being Together ever again Like we used to be when was teenagers But then of course Everything always happens for a reason I guess it was never meant to be But it's just something ...
