He was among the first to explore the whole range of Mozart's concertos, at a time when only the "greatest hits" were heard in concert halls; his outstanding 1960's recordings of the ...

Brahms Piano Quartet C Minor 3rd mvt Andante opus 60
One of Brahms' most beautiful slow movements, for string trio with piano.
FAQ
Q: Who is playing this piece?
A: Sorry, I don't know. I licensed this recording from Keith Salmon, of Royalty Free Classical Music (dot org).
Q: Who is this Brahms person?
A: You can read about him here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahms
Q: If it's a piano quartet, why do I hear violins?
A: A piece of music for a solo instrument accompanied by a piano is most often called a sonata (violin sonata, flute sonata, etc.), but when a string trio (violin, viola, violoncello) is joined by a piano, it's called a piano quartet. A piece for four pianists is usually referred to as "eight-hand piano music." Go figure.
Q: Something sounds wrong in the second beat of the measure that starts at 5:26.
A: Yes; the violist plays a D-natural on the second beat; it should be a D-sharp.
Q: This is really beautiful; what other pieces are like this?
A: I don't know of another piece that's this beautiful in quite this way, but the other piano trios, quartets and quintets of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms are really good, so that's a good place to start.
Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; you can get the (Windows) software here:
http://www.musanim.com/player/
There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:
http://www.classicalarchives.com/
Q: Could you do a MAM video of _________?
A: Please read this:
http://www.musanim.com/all/MAMRequests.html
Q: Can I get a DVD with videos like this?
A: Yes:
http://www.musanim.com/mam/video.html
Q: What do the colors in the bar-graph score mean?
A: The colors indicate: violin, viola, violoncello, piano top staff, piano bottom staff.
Q: Why do the scores move at different speeds?
A: The bar-graph score is graphical, and in it, time translates exactly into horizontal position; conventional notation is symbolic, so there is usually one symbol per note, regardless of whether it's a long or a short note, and the symbols are more or less evenly spaced (for legibility); so, when the notes are faster, the notation needs to move faster to keep up.
Q: Why am I crying?
A: I don't know, but the first time I heard this piece in a concert, I cried too. I also cried the first time I read through it with string players. Something about it.

Walton - Concerto for Viola - Andante Comodo - Joyalene Ng
Concerto for Viola (1929) <br />I. Andante comodo <br /><br />By William Walton (1902-1983) was a British composer and conductor. When commissioned to write this viola concerto he admitted to knowing very little of the viola except that it made a rather awful sound! To me this piece portrays a lyrical and melancholy mood despite its moments of dissonance. If it sounds too awful, you can blame int on Walton's perception of the viola. <br /><br />Performers: <br />Joyalene Ng, viola; <br />Cynthia Westerbeck, piano accompaniment

A. Diabelli Sonatina in F
Sonatina in F - pianist Lana Gnus Photos used in the video: Mattsee (place of birth), portrait and city of Vienna. About the composer: Anton Diabeli (September 6, 1781-April 7, 1858) was an Austrian music publisher, editor and composer. Best known in his time as a publisher, he is most familiar today as the composer of the waltz on which Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his set of thirty-three Diabelli Variations. Diabelli was born in Mattsee near Salzburg. He was trained to enter the priesthood, but also took music lessons with Michael Haydn. He moved to Vienna to teach the piano and guitar before becoming partners with Pietro Cappi in 1818 and setting up a music publishing firm with him. The firm, Cappi & Diabelli (which became Diabelli & Co. in 1824) became well known by arranging popular pieces so they could be played by amateurs at home. The firm became well known in more serious music circles by becoming the first to publish works by Franz Schubert, a composer the firm later championed. Diabelli produced a modest number of works as a composer, including an operetta called Adam in der Klemme, a number of masses and songs and a large number of piano and classical guitar pieces. Among these are pieces for four hands (two pianists playing at one piano), which are popular amongst amateur pianists. Ironically, perhaps, the composition for which Diabelli is now best known was actually written as part of a publishing venture. In 1819, he decided to try to publish a volume of <b>...</b>

Anton Diabelli : Sonatina in G major, Op. 168 No. 2
Allegro moderato; Andante sostenuto; Rondo (Allegretto) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Austrian composer and music publisher Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) is remembered for two things. First, there was the waltz he sent around to various composers of the day in 1819, requesting them to write variations for an anthology. The challenge was, of course, best met by Beethoven, who wrote a whole set. Second, there are the eleven sonatinas (Opp. 151 and 168), which are still studied by many students to this day. I had never systematically studied them, although I probably learned one or two movements as a boy. However, I was given a copy of the Op. 168 set recently, and got much pleasure from playing through them - admiring the way Diabelli distilled the essence of a late classical sonata into miniature forms. I am particularly taken by the sparkling little rondo of this sonatina. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear www.psear.co.uk

The challenge was, of course, best met by Beethoven, who wrote a whole set. Second, there are the eleven sonatinas (Opp. 151 and 168), which are still studied by many students to this day. I had never systematically studied them, although I probably learned one or two movements as a boy. However, I was given a copy of the Op. 168 set recently, and got much pleasure from playing through them - admiring the way Diabelli distilled the essence of a late classical sonata into miniature forms. Just for a change, I have used a different camera angle for this video - but anyone learning this piece should not copy my hand movements, as I have acquired some unusual mannerisms through the years! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear www.psear.co.uk

(I) FJ Haydn - Overture〈The Creation〉/ Die Schöpfung, Oratorium
Franz Joseph Haydn (1732~1809) 《The Creation》oratorio, Hob. XXI:2 (1798) - English version, Vienna 1800 - (Part 1 / The First Day) 1. Overture (Introduction) - The Representation of Chaos Emma Kirkby (soprano / Gabriel) Anthony Rolfe Johnson (tenor / Uriel) Michael George (bass / Raphael) Choir of New College, Oxford The Chorus of Academy of Ancient Music The Academy of Ancient Music Christopher Hogwood (conductor) The Creation (German: Die Schöpfung) is an oratorio written between 1796 and 1798 by Joseph Haydn (H. 21/2), and considered by many to be his masterpiece. The oratorio depicts and celebrates the creation of the world as described in the biblical Book of Genesis and in Paradise Lost. Haydn was inspired to write a large oratorio during his visits to England in 1791-1792 and 1794-1795, when he heard oratorios of Handel performed by large forces. Israel in Egypt is believed to have been one of these. It is likely that Haydn wanted to try to achieve results of comparable weight, using the musical language of the mature classical style. The work on the oratorio lasted from October 1796 to April 1798. It was also a profound act of faith for this deeply religious man, who appended the words "Praise to God" at the end of every completed composition. He later remarked, "I was never so devout as when I was at work on The Creation; I fell on my knees each day and begged God to give me the strength to finish the work."

Kempff plays Schubert Sonata No.13 D.664 (I)
Piano Sonata No.13 in A major, D.664 (op. post.120) is composed in the summer of 1819. ~ Part I : - Allegro moderato Part II : www.youtube.com - Andante - Allegro ~~~ Wilhelm Kempff (1895 - 1991) Kempff was born in Jüterbog, Brandenburg, in 1895. He grew up in nearby Potsdam where his father was a royal music director and organist at St. Nicolai Church. His grandfather was also an organist and his brother Georg became director of church music at the University of Erlangen. Kempff studied music at first at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik at the age of nine after receiving lessons from his father at a younger age. Whilst there he studied composition with Robert Kahn and piano with Karl Heinrich Barth (with whom Arthur Rubinstein also studied). In 1914 Kempff moved on to study at the Viktoria gymnasium in Potsdam before returning to Berlin to finish his training. In 1917, Kempff made his first major recital, consisting of predominantly major works, including Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata and Brahms Variations on a theme of Paganini. Between 1936 and 1979 he performed ten times in Japan - a small Japanese island was named Kenpu-san (san meaning "Mister" in Japanese) - in his honor. Kempff made his first London appearance in 1951 and in New York in 1964. He gave his last public performance in Paris in 1981, and then retired for health reasons, Parkinson's disease. He died in Positano, Italy at the age of 95 on 23 May (my birthday...) 1991. Wilhelm Kempff recorded over a <b>...</b>
