Johann Sebastian Bach : The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 BWV 846-869 - 2. Fugue

Alexander Scriabin: Poème Op. 32, No. 1

This étude was written in 1887, when Scriabin was just 15 years old. It was the first of the Three Pieces, Op. 2, and was one of Scriabin's earliest successes. The melody is poignant and heartfelt, showing many characteristics of Russian Gypsy music. It is accompanied by repeated chords in both hands, featuring rich harmonies, inner voices, and large spreads in the left hand. The dynamics of the piece are varied constantly to display emotion and passion and to add interest. The piece features many key changes but finally concludes in the original key. Although it is a slow and somber piece, like many other études, it is considerably difficult to perfect.

Alexander Scriabin: Étude in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 2, No. 1 (Live)

Pianist John Bitoy performs an excerpt of Johann Sebastian Bach’s "The Well-Tempered Clavier," Book 1, Fugue No. 12 in F Minor, BWV 857, published in 1722.

František Kupka looked to the fugue, a musical structure characterized by interweaving and repeating a primary theme and one or more contrasting themes, as inspiration for "Disks of Newton (Study for “Fugue in Two Colors”)." Through the work’s subtitle, Kupka subtly points to eighteenth-century Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach, who developed the malleable fugue form through his two "Well-Tempered Clavier" books of compositions.

Alexander Scriabin: Waltz in A-Flat Major Op. 38

Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.
