| Toccata in E Minor BWV914 | J.S.Bach (1685 - 1750) |
| Kathy Wang, piano | |
| Bach's seven toccatas belong to his earlier works, this one is clearly structured in four parts that flow more or less seamlessly into one another, as was usual in seventeenth-century keyboard music. | |
| Piano Sonata Op.109 in E major | Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) |
| I. Vivace, ma non troppo - Adagio espressivo - Tempo I. II. Prestissimo. | |
| Kathy Wang, piano | |
| Beethoven composed Op. 109 in 1820 and it is the third of the five piano sonatas grouped under his late period style. It is characterised by a fresh and free approach to the traditional Sonata form. The opening movement has a distinctly improvisatory quality, immediately followed by a dramatic Prestissimo movement. | |
| Prelude in G minor Op 23. No. 5 | Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) |
| Bernard Cresdee, Piano | |
| Prelude in G minor, Op. 23, No. 5, was included in his Opus 23 set of ten preludes, however was composed two years earlier than the other 9 preludes in Opus 23. Rachmaninoff himself premiered the piece in Moscow on February 10, 1903, along with Preludes No. 1 and 2 from Op. 23. The prelude is in a quick, \\\'alla marcia\\\' style with a swooning lyrical middle section. | |
| Etude No. 1 Op.104b | Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) |
| Gulliver Poole, Piano | |
| A piano etude written around creating the illusion of three hands, arpeggios on top, a singing melodic line in the middle, and a bass part emulating pizzicato. | |
| Trancendental Etude No. 12 - Chasse-neige | Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) |
| Gulliver Poole, Piano | |
| A passionate, moody and virtuosic etude for tremolo. Chasse-neige depicts a gloomy snowstorm, with effects emulating wind, thunder and blizzard. | |
