Continuing the Mazurka series. Piano: Brodmann PE-187. Mics: AKG Perception 220. Pro Tools recording.

You played well, Brad, but consider doing some denoising of your recordings. On the bright side of not doing it, we get the (rather nice) feeling like we're listening to gramophone recording. :)

Absolutely beautiful. Your such a perfectionist.

Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds.

The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings.

Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn. Re-uploaded with new take on Jan 26, 2014.

Chopin Mazurka Gm op24no1

Chopin Mazurka Gm Op30no1

Listening to the chaconne is as rich and layered an experience as the story behind the music. Whatever meaning you ascribe to the chaconne — personal, civic, divine, or none at all — it's certain to leave its mark.

Johann Sebastian Bach's chaconne has been arranged for nearly every instrument: from the ominous-sounding organ to the solo flute or the delightfully sparse marimba. Or, listen to these renditions by an enterprising clarinetist and an equally ambitious saxophonist. Or how about this menacing arrangement for trumpet and orchestra and this lyrical performance by two cellos. There is truly an arrangement for everyone.

But it's something spectacular when a great violinist performs the chaconne.

Tim Fain's live performance during Krista's conversation with Bernard Chazelle at WXQR's Bachstock is no exception. Before a full house at The Greene Space, he played Bach's chaconne, the fifth and final movement from Partita No. 2. As our executive editor Trent Gilliss observed, "It's a rarity and a privilege to be able to listen to a 15-minute violin solo without an orchestra." Especially a great performance like Tim Fain's, who is known for his electrifying recordings in Black Swan and 12 Years a Slave.

This performance is included in On Being's radio production, "Discovering the Cosmology of Bach" (http://www.onbeing.org/program/bernard-chazelle-discovering-the-cosmology-of-bach/7026)

Classical pianist and composer on nights and weekends. Digital media executive and content producer. I live in North Carolina, USA, with my wife, two dogs, and Brodmann grand piano. 

Attended Manhattan School of Music, piano performance study with Artur Balsam. Previous teachers were John Heiss, Myron Klempner, and Olga Barabini. 

I choose daily between practicing standard repertoire and composing original piano pieces. I end up doing both and recording whenever possible.

Thank you for listening!
