Valse sentimentale Opus 51 Nr 6 Peter I. Tschaikowsky

Chopin Heroic Polonaise Op.53 A Flat Major - Played by Valentina Lisitsa

Tchaikovsky   Piano Concerto No 1, B Flat Minor, Op 23 Open   Best Of Classical Music

S. Rachmaninov - V. Gryaznov. Italian Polka

Set 24 of my Songs without Words was going to be the final one, but I am now on set 39...
The choice of Barcarolle as the first duet piece owes something to Rachmaninov's op.10 (which I have orchestrated). The final return of the main melody at half speed with a filigree high register countermelody, yields to a final mystery chord

First Loves
Tim Fain, violin
Robert Koenig, piano

First Loves is a collection of quintessential violin masterpieces which first inspired me to be a violinist. Includes showpieces by Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, Wieniawski, and more, plus “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
As a kid, I was surrounded by classical, pop, rock, jazz, film and contemporary concert music – finding a balance of old and new music is still very important to me. Many of the works on First Loves are the ones that drew me in as a child – Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, and Wieniawski, arrangements by Heifetz, and Kreisler – and remain profoundly relevant today. I’ve also included “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, which I made after my work on-camera and on the soundtrack of the film Black Swan. Each track is dedicated to someone who inspired me or made it possible for me to be the person and the artist that I am today. My hope is that First Loves will inspire others, young and old, to fall in love with the violin as I did.
