Rhythm, note, and interval concepts are taught in the following way: first, hear and echo a short musical example - second, read and perform a notated exercise - and third, notate mus…

Beethoven's four-movement Sonata in A-flat major op. 26 belongs to his most popular works. It is dedicated to Prince Lichnowsky, one of his most generous patrons and the dedicatee of, for example, the Grande Sonate pathétique op. 13 and Symphony No. 2 op. 35. The work's initial drafts date from 1800-01 - it was first published in March 1802. This demanding sonata is highly varied in its form: it b…

The etudes by Chopin are usually described in two categories: as a 'compendium on knowledge of piano performance? or as 'small musical poems.?

The etudes will always remain an example of exeptional harmony between the instrumental and aesthetic-emotional aspects of a musical composition. / Piano

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The now-published volumes 9 and 10 have presented a special challenge, for particularly in the field of the chorale arrangements the transmissions are more complex than in any other group of works. This ties in with the crucial question of Bach?s authorship, which has been the subject of much controversy in the past. There were heated discussions about it even just prior…
