Einaudi is a personal favourite for solo piano, and none less than this modern classical piece The Snow Prelude No. 15. For me this piece is like the touch of gentle snowflake falling on the lid of a lover's eye, I try my best to capture this emotion. I like the little trills and (for Einaudi) as usual haunting and catchy re-iterative melodies. A nice winter piece from Einaudi's latest piano solo collection "Nightbook" . In this album Einaudi encourages us to explore the unknown and known ...

This piece is in the style of both ragtime and rhythm and blues and I love both its brevity and its rock and roll bass. Alan Haughton is little-known but composes a lot of contemporary starting music for young pianists and this piece is from a collection of this music. This piece is to be played "vivace deciso" which means brisk, lively, spirited and decisively. This piece is like a motorway, I can almost imagine the cars and the movement and flow of traffic in the background of this piece ...

"Memory" is a show tune from the 1981 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats sung by the character Grizabella, a one-time glamour cat who is now a shell of her former self. The song is a nostalgic remembrance of her glorious past and a declaration of her wishes to start a new life. Sung briefly in the first act and in full near the end of the show, "Memory" is the climax of the musical, and by far its most popular and well-known song. The lyrics, written by Cats director Trevor Nunn, were based on ...

Best known for writing the score for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Chinese-American composer Tan Dun has been making a name for himself over the past twenty years with multimedia compositions that strive to fuse the natural world with modern technology, East with West and high art with low. Although his music has not met with universal acclaim, those that value it say that he has transcended the fusion of East and West to make a music which is both and neither. His writing is ...
