Chopin composed many mazurkas, (a Polish folk dance), and this is one of his most familiar. Not too fast, but swirling and with a light playfulness, it has a calmer interlude before resuming the dance.
The start to this Chopin waltz is elegant and almost sedate. But then the contrast is shown by very fast sections that leave you whirling and spinning with delight.
The second on Debussy's Arabesques is faster, brighter and more lively. Although the two works are usually put in the '20th Century' classical music period, they are now being increasingly seen as a separate impressionistic style popular with European composers.
The first movement of this famous Mozart piano sonata has an initial theme followed by six variations based on that theme. Inventive and unmistakably Mozart it has loud and soft, as well as fast and slow variations.
The theme of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 is delicate and serene. The instruction 'Andante Grazioso', (walking pace, gracefully), produces a peaceful foundation to the six variations that follow.
Slightly faster and more playful than the introduction to the first movement, this is the first variation of the Theme from the Mozart Piano Sonata No.11.
More lively than the Theme from the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11, this is the second variation which is sprightly and much more intricate.
The fourth variation of the Theme from the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 is rather grand and regal. Full of grandeur and very stately.
The fifth variation of the Theme from the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 is light and airy. The melodies climb up into the sky and carry you off on clouds of delight.
The fastest variation of the Theme from the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11 sparkles with energy and vivacity. A wonderful and lively ending to round off the variations of the main Theme.
A bold introduction disguises the delicate melodies of this menuetto. Punctuated by light, dancing themes, this is a positive and confident second movement to Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11.
Quick, joyous and celebratory, this Rondo from Piano Sonata No.11 is one of Mozart's best known piano pieces and has been used in many film, TV and media productions requiring a fast paced and up-tempo soundtrack.
This gavotte, (French folk dance), for guitar is playful and buoyant. You can visualise the dancers from years gone by having fun at gatherings and parties. Fun and celebratory.
A delightful waltz for guitar by Francisco Terrega. Sweet and bright, the melodies jump around in a positive and upbeat way. The whole track is happy, lively and full of joy.
A classical guitar study by Italian composer Matteo Carcassi. Sprightly and sparkling, this delightful piece is great to convey playful scenes. Has a hint of nobility and grandeur about it.
Popular and amusing, this piano solo by Dvorak is the most famous of his '8 Humoresques'. A loose and flowing track which has been used in many humorous settings. Great for conveying a little comical, witty or satirical feeling.
Light, delicate and playful this was originally written for piano and has since become very popular with guitarists. Very much in a Spanish style it reflects on childhood with love and affection.
Bold and distinctive piano melodies and chords ring out with regal and noble fashion. This is the first promenade in the suite, 'Pictures at an Exhibition', which depicts a tour around an art gallery or collection.
Playful melodies begin this intensely moving work. Schumann keeps the emotions ebbing and flowing as the dynamics rise and fall in this deeply accomplished composition which was written when he was just 29 years old.
A wonderful staccato performance is required to play this piece composed by Spanish classical guitarist Fernando Sor. Rigid and with a military feel, this piece marches off with confidence and positivity.
A classical guitar study that is subtle and calm yet emotional and thought provoking. A simple melody is accompanied by a repetitive arpeggio which moves the piece along at a constant pace.
This is such a well known and popular guitar solo that it is remarkable that the composer is unknown. A positive Spanish feel to this track full of passion, love and affection.
