It was composed in 1830 (Chopin would have been about 20 years old at the time) but not published until 1875. <br /> <br />This piece, like most of Chopin's nocturnes, has a mysterious and enchanting quality to it. I cannot help but wonder why Chopin never published this work. Perhaps it did not live up to his standard? Or perhaps it was simply not intended for public performance? The first edition of this work included the following instruction: "For my sister Louise to play, before she practices my second Concerto." -- so perhaps Chopin wrote this merely as a "prelude" for practicing and as such never had it published? Whatever the reason, this work has become one of the more well known of the Nocturnes despite Chopin's disinterest in publication. <br /> <br />This recording is <a href="http://www.signmypiano.com/2008/05/frederic-chopin-nocturne-in-c-sharp.html" title="Dedication">dedicated to the Lloyd family</a>.

The melody is reminiscent of one of his many Nocturnes, while the accompanying harmonies are almost hymnal - even concluding with a fifth-to-dominant cadence that is such a common ending in church service music (although this piece is more subtle than a typical hymn). <br /> <br />This recording was another from the collection, <a href="http://www.alfred.com/alfredweb/front/ProductDetail.aspx?itemnum=%20%20%20%20%20%20%20453&pubnum=0" title="Classical Music for the Church Service"><em>Classical Music for the Church Service: Volume 2</em></a> (published by Alfred - my favorite sheet music publisher).

It was written while Debussy was still rather young (26 years old) and is not considered to be representative of his impressionist style that is generally associated with his name. However, there are certain aspects of his style that are apparent even in this early work. <br /> <br />For study, I used <a href="http://www.alfred.com/alfredweb/front/ProductDetail.aspx?itemnum=%20%20%20%20%20%202540&pubnum=0">Alfred's Masterwork Edition</a> edited by <a href="http://alfred.com/img/authors/olson.html">Lynn Freeman Olson</a>. <br /> <br />This recording is <strong>dedicated to the Robertsons</strong> who acted as my parents-away-from-home while I lived in Japan for two years doing volunteer missionary service for my <a href="http://www.lds.org/">church</a>.

It is one of a set of 13 preludes and is one of the more popular of the set. All 13 of these preludes were written during a period of 19 days. <br /> <br />The first time I encountered this piece was during a talent competition I had entered in 1998. I was just 18 years old then, and a girl about the same age as I played this piece. I really enjoyed it but never actually attempted to learn it until quite recently. In fact, I didn't spend very much time studying this one (as is probably apparent in my performance). I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless. Oh, and if you were wondering, I was fortunate to take first place in the competition with <a href="http://www.lisztonian.com/composers/Frederic+Chopin-4.html">Chopin</a>'s <a href="http://www.lisztonian.com/titles/Etude+in+C+Minor+Op+10+No+12-50.html">Revolutionary Etude</a> (Op. 10 No. 12).

It is one of 5 pieces in the set entitled "Morceaux de Fantaisie" (Fantasy Pieces). It is often called "The Bells of Moscow". It is unlikely that Rachmaninoff gave it that title himself. Although this piece became one of his most popular and most requested pieces, Rachmaninoff came to dislike the piece because it was demanded over some of his other great works. <br /> <br />This recording is dedicated to my dear friend, Dane Laverty.

I really need to re-record this piece because I have since gained a much deeper appreciation for the piece and I feel as though my interpretation of it has greatly improved. I also now conclude this piece with Listz's alternate ending which concludes in a whole-tone scale with the left hand and accompanying chords in the right. I prefer this ending over the original because I have a particular affinity towards the whole-tone scale... it reminds me of the eternal nature of life and my deep faith in religion and a Heavenly Father (God) who loves us.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Concert+Etude+No+3+in+D+flat+Major-23.mp3 5:49 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Franz Liszt, Concert Etude No. 3 in D flat Major, Un Sospiro clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Franz Liszt - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Consolation in E Major No. 1 composed by Franz Liszt performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>The six consolations by Franz Liszt are deeply emotional and inspiring pieces. Each one has so many different ways of being interpreted.

Liszt actually composed two primary versions of this piece, one that is more simplified, and the other, which is the more commonly performed. This is the more simplified version of the piece. At the time I purchased it (many years ago) I didn't even know what it was, nor did I know that there was a more complex version. I have since heard the "real" version performed live many times, and own several different recordings of it.

Obviously I was not there in person, but I have watched my copy of that performance over and over again. Seeing that performance is what drew me to want to record this piece, which then led me to record several others among the "Scenes from Childhood" of which "Dreaming" is only one segment.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Dreaming-37.mp3 2:22 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Robert Schumann, Dreaming clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones (Sparks Etude) Moritz Moszkowski - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Etude in B flat Major Op. 36 No. 6 (Sparks Etude) composed by Moritz Moszkowski performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>I have been told that this particular piece was a favorite "encore" piece of the great Vladmir Horowitz.

I thought it looked fun, and I've always been attracted to the "heavier" sounding music. This one actually has some very fun chord progressions in it that didn't stand out to me until I had been through several hours of practicing.

She pretends that she is chasing butterflies... I think that is a perfect use of imagery for this piece. It is commonly called the "black keys" etude because the right hand plays almost exclusively the black keys of the piano. It is a light, but fast-paced etude that is very enjoyable to listen to and probably even more enjoyable to play.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Etude+in+G+flat+Major+Op+10+No+5-49.mp3 1:56 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Etude in G flat Major Op. 10 No. 5, Black Keys Etude clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Etude Op 25.

I actually studied the entire 1st partita (of which this recording is only a portion), but never committed the entire work to memory. One of these days I'll pick it back up again and finish recording the entire piece.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Partita+No+1+in+B+flat+Major+Praeludium-43.mp3 2:05 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Johann Sebastian Bach, Partita No. 1 in B flat Major - Praeludium clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Polonaise in A Major Op. 40 No. 1 composed by Frederic Chopin performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>This happens to be one of my daughter's favorite pieces (she's loved it since she was only three years old). I was asked to site-read this piece while living in Japan and afterwards determined to actually learn and perform it. I've since had the opportunity to perform this on a number of occasions. Sadly, this recording is not among the best of those performances, but is the only one that was recorded.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Polonaise+in+A+Major+Op+40+No+1-52.mp3 5:25 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Polonaise in A Major Op. 40 No. 1 clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in A Major Op. 28 No. 7 composed by Frederic Chopin performed by Jeremiah Jones. http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+A+Major+Op+28+No+7-46.mp3 0:42 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Prelude in A Major Op. 28 No. 7 clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in B Minor Op. 28 No. 6 composed by Frederic Chopin performed by Jeremiah Jones. http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+B+Minor+Op+28+No+6-45.mp3 1:51 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Prelude in B Minor Op. 28 No. 6 clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones (Ave Maria) Johann Sebastian Bach - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in C Major (Ave Maria) composed by Johann Sebastian Bach performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>I play this one much more slowly than most do... I guess I just like it that way. This piece has been arranged, re-arranged, and arranged again for many instruments and combinations of instruments. It is definitely a "classic" and is often heard at weddings and other significant events.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+C+Major-30.mp3 3:03 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Johann Sebastian Bach, Prelude in C Major, Ave Maria clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in C Minor Op. 28 No. 20 composed by Frederic Chopin performed by Jeremiah Jones. http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+C+Minor+Op+28+No+20-48.mp3 1:39 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Prelude in C Minor Op. 28 No. 20 clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones (Raindrop Prelude) Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in D-flat Major Op. 28 No. 15 (Raindrop Prelude) composed by Frederic Chopin performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>This piece was the first classical work that I fell in love with. In fact, this was the gateway that led to my love for the piano and my endeavor to study and practice. I heard it as "background" music for a popular Japanese film (I believe it was titles "Dreams") back in high school. Upon hearing the music, I went home and rummaged through my mother's sheet music collection until I found a copy of this piece. I played it over and over until I had committed it to memory. Although this was not the "tipping point" for me and the piano, it was definitely a key point in my love for classical music.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+Dflat+Major+Op+28+No+15-47.mp3 5:53 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Prelude in D-flat Major Op. 28 No. 15, Raindrop Prelude clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Frederic Chopin - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in E Minor Op. 28 No. 4 composed by Frederic Chopin performed by Jeremiah Jones. http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+E+Minor+Op+28+No+4-44.mp3 2:11 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Frederic Chopin, Prelude in E Minor Op. 28 No. 4 clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Sergei Rachmaninoff - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude in G Minor Op. 23 No. 5 composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>This was my first competition-piece. I didn't do very well ;) My mother tried to encourage me to play the piano by offering me $25 to learn this piece. I refused for several months until finally my sister brought me a recording of it. After listening to the recording, I just couldn't keep myself from learning to play it. This piece was one of the stepping stones into my love for the piano and thus holds a unique place in my heart.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+in+G+Minor+Op+23+No+5-54.mp3 3:59 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Prelude in G Minor Op. 23 No. 5 clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Johann Sebastian Bach - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Prelude No. 8 in E flat Minor composed by Johann Sebastian Bach performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>This recording was performed on a studio upright piano and thus does not deliver the greatest sound quality but gives the listener an idea of one interpretation of this piece. Many artists perform this selection at a faster tempo than is heard here but the I feel as though this is an appropriate tempo for the mood that I am attempting to convey.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Prelude+No+8+in+E+flat+Minor-61.mp3 4:01 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Johann Sebastian Bach, Prelude No. 8 in E flat Minor clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800 Jeremiah Jones Aram Khachaturian - Sign My Piano at www.SignMyPiano.com Toccata composed by Aram Khachaturian performed by Jeremiah Jones. <p>This is a fun piece and not nearly as difficult as it sounds (or looks, if you are watching a performance).

The recording was made on a nine-foot concert grand piano in a small recital hall. <br /> <br />This Etude was the first of Liszt's transcendental Etudes that I studied. I fell in love with the harmonies and chord progressions that Liszt uses in this piece. It also happened to be the piece that I was working on when I first met my wife. For that fact, this work is among our favorites.</p> http://www.lisztonian.com/music/download/Transcendental+Etude+No+11-59.mp3 9:49 Classical Music, Free, Romantic Music, Franz Liszt, Transcendental Etude No. 11, Evening Harmonies clean Sat, 01 Dec 2007 01:00:00 -0800
