It's been years since I read through Carcassi Op 60 No 5 and I'd forgotten what a great etude this is! Let me know your favorite classical guitar piece in the comments, thanks! Matteo Carcassi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Matteo Carcassi Matteo Carcassi (8 April 1796 – 16 January 1853)[1] was an Italian guitarist and composer. Contents 1 Life 2 Music 3 References 4 External links 4.1 Sheet music Life Carcassi was born in Florence, Italy, and first studied the piano, but learned guitar when still a child. He quickly gained a reputation as a virtuoso concert guitarist. He moved to Germany in 1810, gaining almost immediate success. By 1815, he was living in Paris, earning his living as a teacher of both the piano and the guitar. On a concert tour in Germany in 1819, he met his friend Jean-Antoine Meissonnier for the first time. Also a well-known guitarist, Meissonnier published many of Carcassi's works in his Paris publishing house. For Meissonnier he also arranged a number of popular songs for guitar that were originally written for piano, including works by Théodore Labarre and Loïsa Puget. From 1820 on, Carcassi spent the majority of his time in Paris. In 1823, he performed an extremely successful series of concerts in London that earned him great fame, both as a performing artist and as a teacher. However, in Paris, a long time passed before his talents were truly recognized, partly because of the presence of Ferdinando Carulli. Carcassi was in Germany again during autumn 1824. Afterwards he performed in London, where his reputation now gave him access to more prestigious concert halls. Finally he returned to Paris. For several years, he made concert trips from here to the important musical centres of Europe. After a short return to performing in 1836, he quit his concert practice around 1840 and died in Paris in 1853. Music Carcassi wrote a method for guitar (Op. 59), first published with Schott in Mainz, in 1836. It is still valuable, relevant and interesting. His most famous works are collected in his 25 Études, Op. 60. In these, he managed to blend technical skills and brilliant Romantic music. This is the reason his music is still played by so many classical guitarists today. See also: List of compositions by Matteo Carcassi References Raffaele Carpino, Mario dell'Ara: "Matteo Carcassi.

Frédéric François Chopin - Berceuse for piano in D flat major, Op. 57, Romantic Period, 1844. Jorge Bolet (November 15, 1914 – October 16, 1990) performs Chopin's Berceuse in D major during a recital recording in 1962 in London. Classic Archive dedicated to two South American pianists: Claudio Arrau and Jorge Bolet.

A long flight of passion which in itself counters all sentimentality, as much as the delicate Berceuse. This sequence of variations of increasing exuberance on a limpid melody reveals the cardinal importance which Chopin attached to the left hand, that is, to be harmonic and rhythmic foundation of his music provided that the fluid garlands of melody in the right hand do not run counter to this strict support. "Look at those trees," Liszt is said to have explained, "the wind plays in their leaves, but the trees do not stir. That is Chopin Rubato." It is at this price, which only the most talented interpreters can afford, that Chopin stops being merely pretty and becomes great." A Berceuse is a Musical Composition usually in 6/8 time that resembles a Lullaby. Otherwise it is typically in triple meter. Tonally most berceuses are simple, often merely alternating tonic and dominant harmonies; since the intended effect is to put a baby to sleep, wild chromaticism would be somewhat out of character. Another characteristic of the berceuse, for no reason other than convention, is a tendency to stay on the "flat side"; noted examples including the berceuses by Chopin, who pioneered the form, Liszt, and Balakirev, which are all in D♭. Frédéric Chopin's Berceuse Op. 57 +••.••(...)) is a lullaby to be played on piano. It consists of variations in D-flat major. At first the composer titled the work Variations, but the title was altered for publication to the current Berceuse. It was first published by J. Meissonnier of Paris in 1844 and dedicated to Elise Gavard (who was born in 1842). This is a late work in Chopin's oeuvre, coming at a time when the composer's output was in decline along with state of his health. He had spent the summer of 1843, when most of this work was written, in Nohant, at the residence of his lover, novelist Aurore Dupin Dudevant, better known by her pseudonym, George Sand. Some have suggested that the inspiration for this Berceuse or lullaby was the young daughter of singer Pauline Viardot, who had left the child in the care of Sand during that summer. Ultimately this assertion must be considered conjecture, but the character of the music would hardly seem at odds with it. Chopin's expressive language here is uncomplicated and the music quite straightforward. Moreover, there is something childlike in the simplicity and playful innocence of the main theme. Yet, the composer invests more in the work's mood and character than one might realize. The main theme sounds dreamy and innocent at the outset, but as it unfolds atop one of Chopin's ostinato basses it gradually takes on subtle changes, becomes more sophisticated - perhaps more adult - as it sprouts new ideas and gathers ornamentation. Still, it never loses its innocent demeanor, even if there is a feeling the piece is gradually fading or decaying. When the end is reached, the mood has turned wistful, even somewhat disconsolate. A typical performance of the Berceuse lasts from four to five minutes.

The Op. 67 mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin are a set of four mazurkas posthumously published in 1855. A typical performance of all four mazurkas lasts around seven minutes. The last opus number that Chopin himself used was 65, allocated to the Cello Sonata in G minor. He expressed a deathbed wish that all his unpublished manuscripts be destroyed. At the request of the composer's mother and sisters, however, his musical executor Julian Fontana selected 23 unpublished piano pieces and grouped them into eight further opus numbers (Opp. 66–73), published in 1855. In 1857, 17 Polish songs that Chopin wrote at various stages of his life were collected and published as Op. 74, though their order within the opus did not reflect the order of composition.
