The music of Bertali – Chamber sonatas

admin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:47:19 +0000

Classical music for your day.

Off to the baroque we go! And a pretty early baroque at that too.

Here are three pieces by Bertali. Born in Verona, he was an Italian composer and wrote a fair amount of operas, chamber music and liturgical works. Apparently (from Wikipedia), half of his works are lost unfortunatly.

I hope you enjoy!

Antonio Bertali – (1605-1669)

1)Sonata S: Placidi a 14 – 3′10″
2)Sonata S: Leopoldi a 15 – 3′09″
3)Sonata a 8 due cori – 3′21″

performed by: Musica Fiata with Roland Wilson
label: CPO

Beethoven: String Quartet No. 4 C minor – Allegro

admin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 06:58:39 +0000

Beethoven Classical Music Violin Cello Viola Virtuoso minor

String Quartet No. 4 C minor – Allegro
One of Beethoven’s best chamber work in my opinion. And probably one of the best chamber songs period. Beautiful memorable melody, songs starts out at 280 BPM and speeds up to 360 BPM. Very demanding of a composer and a musician. This is by far the best version of it. Sheet music Public in 1801

The Classical Music Appreciation Show (CMAS), EPISODE I

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 08:20:42 +0000

Why SUBSCRIBE to The Classical Music Appreciation Show (CMAS)?

Episodes start with a short lecture, then a LIVE performance of a piece or movement of classical music, with the goal to hopefully educate/inspire people who are new to classical music and entertain people who are already classical music appreciators. Heck, if you like the performance enough, you can even buy it at http://shop.rawpp.com (search “Quintet”). And share the show with your friends too!

EPISODE I: Chamber Music Appreciation, Part I

Don’t like chamber music? Don’t like Brahms? It’s probably because you haven’t heard the best examples of the genre, the best examples of the composer. Give a listen to the Scherzo of the Brahms Piano Quintet, and then answer those two questions again.

JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897)
Piano Quintet in f minor, Op. 34 (1864)
III. Scherzo: Allegro

QUARTETTO DEL PRANZO
Dawn Madole, violin
Andrew Lan, viola
La Verne Chen, cello
Ray Arthur Wang, piano

WITH SPECIAL GUEST
Eisaku Tokuyama, violin

Lecture written by Andrew Lan, delivered by Eisaku Tokuyama

To hear the complete lecture and all other movements of the Brahms Piano Quintet and much, much more, visit http://shop.rawpp.com and search “Quintet.” (Part of proceeds go to well-known causes furthering both human and animal rights. Plus, another benefit to getting our version of the Brahms Piano Quintet is the very detailed program notes we present before we perform — it’s like taking a class in chamber music appreciation!)

You can also follow project status at http://twitter.com/GenPKim
A live performance for Seattle’s Marrowstone in the City program. The music was arranged by the genius Lennart Jansson (Link) and Gen Kim (myself as Ash Ketchum). I choreographed all the extra bits behind us as we play as well as sang the Halo theme, of course. The Tetris bit is a tribute to the old a capella group that did game themes. Lennart is playing an ocarina there, and I’m drumming the top of my violin. Hope you enjoy.

So, I am kind of proud of myself that I managed to write this in less than 5 hours, but I hope it sounds nice as well! I just lost track of time…

This song is Gerudo Valley from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, originally written by Koji Kondo. I arranged it on finale with a string quartet, a guitar, a piano and a drum set.
