| Piano Sonata in E-flat minor, Op.26 | Samuel Barber (1910 - 1981) |
| III. Adagio mesto, IV. Fuga: Allegro con spirito | |
| Ray Liang, Piano | |
| Barber's Piano Sonata was commissioned for the 25th anniversary of the League of Composers, a society dedicated to the promotion and celebration of new American works. The third movement makes use of tone rows, which are immediately heard in the opening measures. Barber originally intended for the sonata finish here, until Vladimir Horowitz, who premiered the work, insisted it needed a 'flashy' ending. So the story goes, a frustrated Barber started and finished the final fugue movement the next day. | |

| Autumn on Hoddle St. | Ethan McAlister (1996 - ) |
| Ethan McAlister, Electric Guitar | |
| Autumn on Hoddle St. marks the first fully noted work I have written in about five years since completing my honours in composition. In an attempt for a new compositional process it was entirely written on the guitar before being written out and focuses on a number of sounds and techniques idiomatic to the electric guitar. | |
| 6 Étude de concert, Op. 35 No. 2 “Automne†| Cécile Chaminade (1857 - 1944) |
| Hoi Yi Cheung, Piano | |
| The 6 Étude de concert, Op. 35 No. 2 was composed in 1886 or earlier. Chaminade incorporated folk-like lyricism into "Automne". The melody is very vocally expressed through the piano. Automne (Autumn) consists of a relaxed and tender A section which contrasts with a con fuoco B section, and then returns back to the A section. | |
