Bartók's Mikrokosmos is one of the milestones in the pedagogical piano repertoire - and yet it is also far more than a 'classical' piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organised in ascending order of...

'The Lark' is one of the most popular Russian songs of the Romantic era, composed by the founder of the Russian nationalist school, Mikhail Glinka. His fellow countryman, Mili Balakirev, took this sim...

During his youth, Richard Strauss composed a large number of works for piano solo, among them numerous sonatas. Yet it was only the Sonata in b-minor that he obviously considered important enough to w...

First conceived in 1803/04 as the slow movement of the Piano Sonata in C major op. 53 (the 'Waldstein' Sonata), the Andante turned out too long in Beethoven's view and was replaced. Beethoven had it p...

Among Haydn's piano sonatas, the great Sonata in E-flat-major is particularly popular. It was composed in 1794 during Haydn's second stay in London where he became acquainted with the new English fort...

Schubert's 22 piano sonatas sketch a most illuminating picture of the prematurely departed composer and of his compositional path. From the first attempts of the gifted 16- to 19-year- old musician on...

Bach's Six Partitas form what is presumably the most famous and challenging collection of suites in music history. Bach was aware of the weightiness of his cycle as he initially had these multi-moveme...

The Concerto in Bb major K. 595 is not only Mozart's very last in the series of very important works for piano and orchestra. It is generally regarded as his most mature, perhaps even his most beautif...

Franz Schubert seems to have been particularly attracted to a-minor. Not just one but three of his piano sonatas are in this key. The earliest of them, D 537, was composed in March 1817 and was simult...

Schubert occupied himself intensively with the sonata form in 1818/19. The results, to put it like this, led to the creation of this piano sonata in A major, probably in summer 1819, thus at about the...

Haydn's c-minor Sonata is shot through by a passionate, dark, at times sullen mood. It may be regarded as the Viennese classicist's own 'Appassionata' - a great triumph! It is almost inconceivable tha...

Initially only referred to as “Sérénade” in the autograph, and then more precisely as “Sérénade grotesque” in the composer’s later autobiography, the composition is Ravel’s earliest known piano work....

Bach's French Suites are among his most popular keyboard works, and are also much used as teaching material. This was already the case at the time of their composition, so that today a vast number of...

Bach had included these four pieces in Part III of the Clavierübung (1739), as this print chiefly contained works for organ (21 chorale preludes on Catechism melodies and other hymns); moreover, a spi...
