Chopin Scherzo No. 1 in B minor Op. 20 Presto con Fuoco

This piece was written in 1831, during the November Uprising against the Russian Empire. A friend of Chopin, Thomas Albrecht, to whom it was dedicated, convinced him to stay in Vienna, away from his family in Poland, to build his musical career. During this time he only played one concert, where he performed his concerto in E minor. Because of the struggle and the war, his pieces changed from a brilliant style one to a new, darker tonality. Chopin composed this piece and several of the Opus 10 etudes around the same time.

Scherzo is "joke" in Italian. Yet this piece is dark, suspenseful, and full of chaos, where the first clear melody is in the slow B Major middle section, but it returns to a chaotic murmur soon after. It is hypothesized that this portrayed Chopin's feelings toward the war, or told a story about rebellion in his homeland of Poland.

"Libiamo ne' lieti calici" da La Traviata - di Giuseppe Verdi

Chopin's 24 Preludes satisfy so many different tastes in a single opus. from the (mostly) serene A Major (no. 7) to the whimsical F Major (no. 23), elegant and moving Bb Major (No. 21), the energetic but unsettling G Minor (no. 22) and the restless finale, D Minor (no. 24), 

One could easily mistake the Preludes for being minimalistic in scope. But unlike other expansive works, whether by Chopin himself or other great composers, these preludes cover enormous territory: in traditional sonata form, the composer settles on a very limited number of themes and then expands and transforms these basic ideas into elaborate musical tapestries woven with but two or three threads. Chopin here, though, invents not two or three key themes but several dozen of them, and then let’s each one free to follow its own direction.

16 Chopin  Prelude No. 16 In Bb Minor (Presto Con Fuoco)

Beautiful reconstruction of this great but(not-too-famous)classical piece from  Camille Saint-Saéns. The virtual orhcestra is Kirk Hunter as usual.

Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence, Striking with his heel a tomb, Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, Zig, zig, zig, on his violin. The winter wind blows and the night is dark; Moans are heard in the linden trees. Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and leaping in their shrouds. Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking, The bones of the dancers are heard to crack— But hist! of a sudden they quit the round, They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.
(Based upon an old french superstition by Henri Cazalis)

"Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" is a famous musical composition for the organ. Composed by the Baroque maestro Bach, the piece is regarded as being the virtuoso's signature. Renowned for its regal and majestic resonance, dramatic command and titular opening motif, this piece  reveals the mastery of the performer's "touch" upon the organ's keys through its poignant and swiftly paced arpeggios. In western culture, the piece has developed an association with horror movies.
