Prelude Op. 7, No. 3 (Heartbeat) - Nix Johann

About the video and music:

Performed by MIDI (Pianoteq 6)

The third in Op. 7 is one of Nix Johann's weirdest works. The piece sounds like a dramatic chase and suspense instead of the beating of a heart. And the final chord (Db) break all the rules of harmony in the whole piece.

Prelude Op. 7, No. 2 (Afternoon river) - Nix Johann

About the video and music:

Performed by MIDI (Pianoteq 6)

Nix Johann's preludes mostly try to give a picture of what the composer went through. And in this case, the "Prelude in G-sharp minor" is about his various feelings when he stayed by the river near his house in a romantic afternoon. The people, boats, rafts around here is too familiar and grew up with him since childhood, but still can't give him a sense of common but special and full of love.

Etude Op. 10, No. 2 (Chromatic) - Chopin

About the video and music:

Performed in the video by MIDI (Pianoteq 6)

The "Chromatic" etude is kinda short compare to others. Even so, it's considered one of the most difficult etudes Chopin has ever written, beside the Op. 25 No. 11 or Op. 10 No. 4. It was written to help the weaker fingers of the right hand (the 4th and 5th finger) develop better independence and strength.

About the video and music:

Edited by Nix Johann

Performed in video by MIDI

The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked Quasi una fantasia, Op. 27, No. 2, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. The popular name Moonlight Sonata goes back to a critic's remark after Beethoven's death. The piece is one of Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano, and it was a popular favorite even in his own day. Beethoven wrote the Moonlight Sonata in his early thirties, after he had finished with some commissioned work; there is no evidence that he was commissioned to write this sonata.

La Campanella - Paganini

About the video and music:

Edited by Nix Johann

Performed in video by MIDI

The third movement of Paganini's Second Concerto owes its nickname "La Campanella" or "La Clochette" to the little bell which Paganini prescribes to presage each recurrence of the rondo theme. The character of the bell is also imitated in the orchestra and in some of the soloist's passages featuring harmonics. The outcome is a very transparent texture, which gains extra charm of gypsy coloration of the rondo theme. This movement has served as the basis of compositions by other composers, such as the Étude S. 140 No. 3 "La campanella" by Liszt, and Strauss I's Walzer à la Paganini Op. 11.

Edited by Nix Johann

Performed in video by MIDI

The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is a piece of organ music written, according to its oldest extant sources, by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). The piece opens with a toccata section, followed by a fugue that ends in a coda. Scholars differ as to when it was composed. It could have been as early as c. 1704. Alternatively, a date as late as the 1750s has been suggested. To a large extent, the piece conforms to the characteristics deemed typical of the north German organ school of the Baroque era with divergent stylistic influences, such as south German characteristics.
