My Personal Bias – emotionally moving piano

Posted on December 23rd, 2007 and filed in Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, My personal bias - emotionally moving piano, Piano, Rachmaninoff

A selection of solo piano pieces that fit my bias … Dreamy, melancholy, peaceful or joyously uplifting.

Here is a handful of the pianos ‘Master Composers.’ (*this bias is due no doubt to the neural imprinting from birth – of my father’s Chopin blasting!)  SEE : ABOUT ME on right hand panel

Liszt – Un Sospiro (Italian for “a sigh” – although there is some doubt Liszt ever sanctioned or used this title!) It’s the third of Liszt’s trois etudes de concert.
