I recorded this piece long time ago, but never uploaded it to my website. Schumann’s ‘Bunte Blätter’ are rich and colorful musical gems, of wich I love the fifth one the most, but listen yourself:
Schumannn, Bunte Blätter Op. 99, V. Langsam.
My father has written beautiful variations on it for a small orchestral ensemble: J. Gedan, 21 Variations by a theme of Robert Schumann, Op. 21.
La cathédrale engloutie (The Sunken Cathedrale) is a prelude written by Claude Debussy (1862 – 1918) as the tenth prelude in a series of 24 (split into two volumes).
Prélude Op. 22 No. 2, c# minor
Aleksandr Nikolaevič Skrjabin (1872-1915) was a russian composer and pianist. Skrjabin’s compositions are heavily influenced by the music of Frédéric Chopin. The Préludes for solo piano are evident for this influence. Given here is a recording of the Prélude Op. 22 No. 2. You can find the sheet music on imslp.org (Préludes Op 22, sheet music)
Recently on youtube I’ve encountered a channel called Midwest Young Artists. These channel is presenting young musical talents. They all seam to have great technique and musicality (so watch the channel if you’re interested into this), but three of them apealed my special attraction: The Trio Vita. Especially the communication between the three musicians and the understanding of the musical structure, great sense for melodic lines and polyphonic movements. This is so dazzling what they are able to do at their age.
Unfortunately there are only three recordings avaible at youtube (wich I like to present you here at a glance; don’t forget to visit the youtube channel, too). I’d really like to hear more of them.
