This is a studio recording from 2012 for the BBC film 'Loving Miss Hatto'. A biopic penned by the British comedian Victoria Wood about pianist Joyce Hatto.

The character piece is like the art song's fun-loving cousin who always shows up to the party with a bottle of emotional perfume. It's perfect for those intimate gatherings or solo rendezvous with your piano. Thanks to the piano's rise to fame in the 1800s, character pieces were popping up everywhere, and composers were flaunting their creations at the hottest recital events of the time. Basically, character pieces were the 19th century's version of a hot new single. If you thought Franz Liszt's music was boring, think again! This guy was all about giving his character pieces creative and whimsical titles, like "Sposalizio" and "Vallée d'Obermann". But don't worry, he didn't forget about those of us who like our music titles to be a little more straightforward - he also composed plenty of works with no-nonsense names like "Album Leaves" and "Klavierstücke". With his "Consolations" (a.k.a. "Six Poetic Thoughts"), Liszt took a page out of Chopin's book and delved into the world of nocturnes. And let me tell you, the third Consolation in D-flat major is pure Chopin - even the key is pianist-friendly, unlike those pesky "easy" keys like C major. Looks like Liszt knew a thing or two about pleasing his audience! If you're a Chopin fan, you're gonna love Liszt's "Consolation No. 3"! I mean, talk about a tribute - this piece is basically a carbon copy of Chopin's Opus 27, no. 1. And while it might not have the same flashy piano solos that Liszt is known for, it more than makes up for it with its dreamy, slow-moving melodies. Plus, it's in the same key as Chopin's original, so you know it's gotta be good.

Despite the unusual title, the Consolations were inspired by both poetry and religious contemplation, just like Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses. Some say the title comes from an 1830 poetry collection by Sainte-Beuve, while others think it's based on a poem by Lamartine called A Tear (or Consolation). Either way, it seems like Liszt was in a pretty contemplative mood when he wrote these pieces. But don't worry, Liszt didn't completely forget his roots - he snuck in a little Hungarian folk song as the primary theme, which he later used in his "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1". So even though this piece might not match the wild, hair-flailing image we have of Liszt, it's still got a little bit of that old-school flavor. Liszt's "Consolation No. 3" wasn't just a musical masterpiece - it was also a major turning point in the composer's life. And let me tell you, Liszt's early life was a doozy - it was basically one big, crazy party. But don't take my word for it, just ask his first mistress (and mother of his three children) Marie d'Agoult, who wrote all about it under the pen name Daniel Stern. And if you're feeling really adventurous, you can even watch the 1975 film "Lisztomania" for all the juicy details. Talk about living the dream! Liszt's life was like something out of a Hollywood movie - seriously, this guy was breaking class barriers and performing like a superstar. But as he got older, he decided to trade in the limelight for a little bit of privacy. He started conducting orchestras and composing more, and even started teaching aspiring pianists from around the world. I guess you could say he was the original piano man!

5. Autumn Without You

A raw, unfiltered piano exploration where rhythmic percussion drives the meditative flow. Recorded live in a single take with no quantization—every note, every imperfection becomes part of the artistic journey. The piano frequencies shift from 417Hz to 440Hz, creating a subtle tonal evolution. This is pure improvisation, where mistakes are features, not flaws. Exercise meets expression.

Nocturne op.9, no.2-Chopin(쇼팽 녹턴 2번) 피아니스트 현미경

#Artist : 박종훈 Chong Park
#Album Title : 즉흥 환상곡 -Fantasie Impromptu Op.66-4

피아니스트 박종훈의 연주로 들어보는 쇼팽!!
즉흥적인 자유로운 아름다움 속의 잘 정돈 된 형식미까지 간직하고 있는 환상곡 중 대표적인 곡. 때로는 폭풍처럼 휘몰아치고 때로는 소녀의 아름다운 목소리로 노래하는 ‘즉흥 환상곡’
쇼팽 스스로가 가장 아름다운 멜로디를 가지고 있는 곡이라고 말했을 만큼 서정적인 선율이 돋보이는 곡.바쁘게 움직이는 양 손의 반주에 정적인 베이스와 아름다운 선율이 어우러져 잔잔하면서도 애잔하게 가슴을 울리는 ‘이별의 곡’
피아노의 시인, 쇼팽이 음악으로 쓴 시와 피아니스트 박종훈의 감성이 더해져 탄생한 ‘즉흥 환상곡’과 ‘이별의 곡’ 이 두 곡 모두 앞서 발매된 ‘Aria’와 함께 ‘EBS 다큐프라임 - 음악은 어떻게 우리를 사로잡는가’에 박종훈의 라이브 연주로 삽입되어 더 기대를 모으고 있는 곡이다.


*피아니스트 박종훈 Chong Park*
한국인 피아니스트로서는 최초로 리스트의 ‘초절기교 연습곡’, ‘파가니니에 의한 대연습곡’, ‘사랑의 꿈’ 전곡을 완주한 피아니스트 박종훈. 클래식, 재즈, 탱고, 뉴에이지 등 여러 장르를 뛰어 넘는 연주는 물론이고 작곡과 편곡, 음반 프로듀싱과 녹음, 공연기획 그리고 라디오 방송 MC 에 이르기 까지 다방면에 걸쳐 그의 재능을 유감없이 보여주고 있다. 이탈리아 이몰라 피아노 아카데미에서 거장 라자르 베르만을 사사한 박종훈은 2000년 이탈리아의 산레모 클라시코 국제 콩쿠르에서의 우승과 함께 각국의 섬머 페스티벌에 참여하였으며, 그의 연주는RAI 이탈리아 국영 방송국에 의해 이탈리아 전국 생방송 되기도 하였다. 2008년 클래식&재즈 전문레이블 ‘루비스폴카’를 설립하여 실력있는 국내외 아티스트의 음반과 공연을 직접 기획/제작하고 있다. 올 여름에는 ‘EBS 다큐프라임 – 음악은 어떻게 우리를 사로잡는가’의 주인공으로 참여, 직접 음악을 제작하고 연주하는 등 일반인들에게도 음악이 가까이에 있음을 알리기 위해 노력하고 있다.
