Robert Schumann - Träumerei - Kinderszenen - F-major - Op. 15 - No. 7

"Desesperanza" è il primo di una serie di brani emblematici del repertorio venezuelano che caricherò prossimamente: si tratta di un bolero ed è dedicato a suo figlio morto in un incidente, le cui prime parole sono: Non lascerò mai la tua vita, né tu uscirai mio cuore..., è stata registrata dal tenore venezuelano Alfredo Sadel e nel 1949 è stata selezionata in Venezuela come Canzone dell'anno.

Melody from Lyric Pieces, op. 47 No. 3 by Edvard Grieg

While I don't profess to be a expert Brahms interpreter (I've actually played very little in my life), I really do enjoy some of the simpler piano pieces like this one.  And actually, "simple" is deceiving and a bit untrue!  The inner Scottish melody, the delicate harmonies, and the interweaving voices really make this one a challenge, and an exercise in careful control.

I hope you'll enjoy this first look at this lovely Intermezzo, and perhaps I'll come back to it in a few years with another take on it.  Thanks for listening!

Carlo Grante continues his critically acclaimed series of Domenico Scarlatti's complete keyboard sonatas! MusicWeb International’s Jonathan Woolf says of Volume Four: “The Bösendorfer Imperial, recorded in Vienna’s Studio Glanzing, sounds as sumptuous as ever and Grante’s musical instincts are once again alive to every shift in Scarlatti’s prismic imagination.”
