 | Beethoven Moonlight Sonata Op.27 #2-Czerny 54bpm © LVB1770 Click more for detailed information. Beethoven Sonata #14 Op.27#2-Adagio sostenuto (Moonlight-Beethoven disliked titles that misrepresented his music but he never heard this title that was given after his death) Beethoven's pupil Carl Czerny's comments on this movement. He supposedly studied this sonata with Beethoven. The alla breve measure being indicated, the whole must be played in moderate Andante time. The prescribed pedal must be re-employed at each note in the bass and the upper Part, which must be delivered with rather more emphasis. The semiquaver must be struck after the last note of the triplet but, let it be well observed, the whole triplet accompaniment must proceed strictly legato and with perfect equality.In the 16th bar the C natural with particular expression. The bars 32 to 35 remarkably crescendo and also accelerando up to forte, which in bars 36 to 39 again decreases. In this forte, the shifting pedal is relinquished, which otherwise Beethoven was accustomed to employ throughout the whole piece. This movement is highly poetical, and therefore perfectly comprehensible to anyone. It is a night scene in which the voice of a complaining spirit is heard in the distance. Carl Czerny.

 | Prelude 3 in G Major (Chopin) A short, fast piece that requires a very light touch. I think I'm getting there.... Its 'companion' prelude is the famous one in E minor. |

 | Chopin Prelude op.28 - no.3 in G Major (Rubinstein) Preludes Op. 28, by Frédéric Chopin, are a set of 24 short pieces written for the piano, one in each key, originally published in 1839. Although the term prelude is generally used to describe an introductory piece, Chopin's Preludes stand as self-contained units, each meant to convey a specific idea or emotion. Chopin's Preludes have been compared to Johann Sebastian Bach's Preludes in the Well-Tempered Clavier. However, each of Bach's preludes leads to a fugue in the same key, and Bach's pieces were arranged chromatically, while Chopin's were arranged in a circle of fifths. Chopin wrote his Preludes between 1835 and 1839, partly at Valldemossa, Majorca where the composer spent the winter of 1838/9 and where he had fled with George Sand and her children to escape the damp Paris weather. Due to apparent lack of formal structure and brevity, the Preludes caused some consternation among critics at the time of their publication. No prelude is longer than 90 measures (Prelude No. 17) and the shortest a mere 13 measures (Prelude No. 20). Robert Schumann said, "They are sketches, beginnings of etudes, or, so to speak, ruins, individual eagle pinions, all disorder and wild confusions." Franz Liszt's opinion, however, may have been positive — "Chopin's Preludes are compositions of an order entirely apart." Since that time, the Preludes have become standard fare for the average pianist. Many major performers have recorded the set, beginning with Alfred Cortot in 1926. (Wikipedia) |
