Johannes Brahms: Cello Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38

Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt - Suite No. 1, Op. 46 - II. Aase's Death

The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie.

The melodies of the pieces use deliberate, but mild, dissonances against the harmony, producing a piquant, melancholy effect that matches the performance instructions, which are to play each piece "painfully", "sadly" or "gravely".

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1

freestyle classical 4

I'm back with another iconic piece. This 'symphonic poem' composed by Strauss and inspired by philosopher Nietzche's novel of the same name, has since been popularized by Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film '2001: A Space Odyssey'. The piece's introduction, (translating to 'sunrise' in English), is particularly popular.
