The Music for Ballet Classes series is a collection of CDs designed to provide dancers and dance teachers with all the music necessary for a complete classical ballet class. The featured piano on this album is a fantastic Fazioli concert grand with a wonderfully deep and resonant timbre. 
This fourth volume marks a departure from those previous in that tracks are not repeated for barre exercises, in order to provide some exercises with alternative tempi or time signatures. This makes Volume 4 the most flexible and best value album to date, featuring 40 separate tracks that span a wide variety of musical genres

One Molecule Away from Madness

This is my piano improvisation on  theme from ThepianoGuys  - "Where Are You Christmas?".

Piano Improvisation On  Theme From ThepianoGuys Where Are You Christmas

Ти з’явилась мені в далекім сні,
сказала: «Ось яким буде твоє майбутнє,
і справедливість звершиться твоєю рукою
проти безжального й розпусного сина».

Полководець обернеться на раба,
а раб стане гладіатором.
І, пройшовши крізь війни та біль,
він кине виклик навіть імператору.

Померти за тебе —
моя доля.
Рим, прекрасна Богиня,
так для мене вирішила.

В мовчанні, та з міцною душею
я відчуваю, як час тягне мене до смерті.
Я бачив надто багато наруги, і серце моє в’яне.
Я помщуся за братів своїх кров’ю.
Це тобі я обіцяю.

---

Sei venuta in sogno a me un di lontano,
mi hai detto questo sarà il tuo futuro,
e giustizia sarà fatta per tua mano
contro un figlio spietato e corrotto.

Un comandante si ritroverà schiavo,
e uno schiavo diventerà un gladiatore.
E attraversando le guerre e il dolore
sfiderà anche l'imperatore.

Morir per te
è il mio destino.
Roma la bella Dea
per me ha deciso.

Nel silenzio ma con l'anima forte
sento che il tempo mi trascina alla morte.
Ho visto troppo scempio e il cuore mio langue.
Vendicherò i miei fratelli col sangue.
Questo promette a te.

Il gladiatore / Героям слава!

New England Conservatory pianist Yi Ding performs Prokofiev: Sonata for Piano no 4 in C minor, Op. 29. Recorded live in Jordan Hall, January 28, 2016.

Of 20th-century composers of concert music, Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) left pianists with one of the more substantial bodies of work in traditional showcase formats: five piano concertos and nine piano sonatas, along with suites and other short-form works for solo piano.

In two Jordan Hall concerts, January 28 and February 1,  2016, NEC piano students celebrated Prokofiev's 125th anniversary with performances of all nine sonatas along with other solo piano works.

Continuing its 13th season, ROCO presented “Courageous Catalysts”, featuring a new commission by Michael Gandolfi. The new work, entitled "Houston: September 12, 1962", celebrated the 100th birthday of President John F. Kennedy and the courage of people who fight for change. Conducted by Michael Stern, the program also included Jean Sibelius’ Symphony No. 7 in C major, op. 105, the composer’s final published symphony, and Bruce Adolphe’s I Will Not Remain Silent, a violin concerto inspired by the life of German-American rabbi and civil rights leader, Joachim Prinz. Throughout the concerto, the violin, played by ROCO concertmaster and featured soloist, Scott St. John, represented the voice of Prinz, while the orchestra represents opposing forces – Nazi Germany in the first movement and America during the Civil Rights era in the second movement. Performed November 11, 2017, at The Church of St. John the Divine, Houston, TX.

Bach's famous Passacaglia (and Fugue) in C minor, featuring the Toccata virtual pipe organ from Sonokinetic (https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/classical/toccata/). A very relaxing snippet of classical music performed on piano caught my attention while watching a dystopian sci-fi movie the other night; it turns out it was an excerpt from this Passacaglia. I wanted to replicate that feel, but it was originally written for pipe organ, and I felt that only an organ could do it justice. (I tried a couple other possibilities, but wasn't satisfied with them.) Nonetheless, I wanted to maintain as much gentleness as possible, and not resort to pulling out all sorts of stops, as many modern pipe organ players are prone to do. Actually, the score hinted that the drama would build up just fine without adding anything to it (except for some careful interpretation, of course). So, I used a very simple flute registration, and maintained it throughout the piece. Although some judicious registration could enhance the piece, I wanted the composition to speak for itself, and I think it works just fine "as is". For a very tasteful interpretation, with delightful registration, check out organist Ulf Norberg on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfAzR2Ut-jM; and at the other extreme, pipe organ superstar Cameron Carpenter does his fast and highly registrated take at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UxIcKJyZZE
