Summer Listening

The Summer Listening CDs are made - make sure you get yours in lesson this week! If your child has been studying with me for a year or more, this summer he will have a CD of piano music to listen to a couple of times a week. If your child is a Suzuki student, he may take a day or two off of listening to the Suzuki repertoire to listen to this instead!

The Playlist is as follows:
  1. Bach - Prelude and Fugue in Bflat from Book 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier (Richter)
  2. Chopin - Nocturne in Eflat Op. 9, No. 2 (Ohlsson)
  3. Beethoven - Bagatelle Op. 119, No. 3 (Brendel)
  4. Beethoven - Bagatelle Op. 119, No. 4 (Brendel)
  5. It Had to be You - Hank Jones
  6. Chopin - Etude Op. 10, No. 2 (Pollini)
  7. Schumann - Dreaming from Scenes from Childhood (Horowitz)
  8. Schumann - Hobby Horse from Scenes from Childhood (Horowitz)
  9. Beethoven - Sonata Op. 13, Movement 2 "Pathetique" (Faith-Slaker)
  10. Ligeti - Fanfares from Etudes Book 1 (Aimard)
  11. Chopin - Etude Op. 10, No. 1 (Pollini)
  12. Bach - Aria and Ten Variations (Tureck)
  13. See See Rider - Erwin Helfer
  14. Schubert - Impromptu Op. 90 No. 4 (O'Conor)
If your child is of Intermediate Level (Suzuki Book 2 and above), we will discuss the music in the fall with regards to time period and style.

Enjoy!

  2. The CD is Great! And nice to now know what the songs are, although we were enjoying them as #5 and such. :-)
