The first movement of this instantly recognisable piano sonata starts off quietly to set a calm, delicate and slightly melancholic tone. As the emotions rise and fall, the intensity swells and diminishes gracefully. The Piano Sonata No. 14 op. 27 no. 2 in C sharp minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1801, is also known as the Moonlight Sonata. Beethoven himself gave his work the nickname Sonata quasi una Fantasia ("... quasi a fantasy"). The term "Fantasia" refers to the unusual sequence of movements of the sonata. This explains the untypical tempos of the respective movements for the conventional sonata form. The work does not have a first (fast) movement in sonata form, which sonatas of this period usually contain. It begins with an Adagio, followed by a more lively Allegretto with Trio, followed by a fast, highly dramatic Finale, which has the structure of a sonata-form. What is striking here is that the tempo increases from movement to movement. Franz Liszt characterized the piece by describing the second movement as "a flower between two abysses".
A beautiful, flowing introduction leads us into a magical fantasy. Sweet and tender, this is the first of Debussy's 'Deux Arabesques'. Written in E major and played at a slow tempo it gives a regal, emotional tone. Widely used in popular culture such as in TV themes and advertising. It has also been sampled by Alicia Keys and used in the video game 'Final Fantasy V'.
Zwei Klavierthemen stehen einander gegenüber, danach folgt ein bewegter Mittelteil. Eignet sich als Untermalung für eine Collage ebenso wie für die Akzentuierung eines dramatischen Momentes. Nicht zu aufdringlich, aber doch thematisch markant. Im vorliegenden Arrangement für Klavier-Solo.
A tender and loving piece for two acoustic guitars. Reflective, melancholic, gentle and thankful, like dearly held memories.
Instantly recognisable, this beautiful work by Debussy is calm and soothing yet is intensely emotional in places. French for 'moonlight', this track is relaxing, reflective and simply delightful.
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec ?tonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.
One of sixteen waltzes by Brahms which shows a really soft and sentimental side. The dynamics don't change too much so it has a very peaceful approach to let the flowing melodies shine through.
Dark and atmospheric, this work has moody drones/pads, ambient electronic textures, shamanic didgeridoo calls, and a primal, driving drum beat. Perfect for many nature docs, dramatic, tension-mounting, mysterious or tribal scenes.
