Classical Music for Sleeping

Gabriel Fauré: Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50 (Arr. for Piano)

Get ready for Chopin's 3rd Ballade, Op. 47, a sunny and optimistic tale with a side of dance and mischief. It's like a feel-good movie compared to the darker, stormier siblings in the Ballade family.

Featuring two main themes that play "opposites attract," our first melody soars sky-high, before echoing left-hand responses. Then, a burst of celebratory arpeggios adds some fireworks. The second theme? A flirty dance number, dipping into minor keys but never fully embracing tragedy.

Watch as the dancelike theme gets all dressed up, while the first remains elegantly unchanging. And let's not forget the flamboyant, keyboard-spanning joyride in between.

Written in 1841, the 3rd Ballade proves that Chopin's final decade was nothing short of musical genius. We might never know the exact story behind this lyrical piece, but its narrative roots and natural flow make it the most romantic of the set.

So, sit back and enjoy this delightful Chopin adventure, where epic narration meets warm-hearted charm, and let your imagination fill in the blanks! 🎹📖💃🌞

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat major, K. 458, nicknamed "The Hunt", is the fourth of the Quartets dedicated to Haydn. It was completed in 1784. It is in four movements:

Allegro vivace assai
Menuetto and Trio. Moderato
Adagio, in E-flat major
Allegro assai

Neither Mozart nor Artaria called this piece "The Hunt." "For Mozart's contemporaries, the first movement of K.458 evidently evoked the 'chasse' topic, the main components of which were a 6/8 time signature (sometimes featuring a strong upbeat) and triadic melodies based largely around tonic and dominant chords (doubtless stemming from the physical limitations of the actual hunting horns to notes of the harmonic series)."According to Irving, Mozart's first intention was to conclude with a polonaise and sketched 65 bars (p. 17).

Its popularity is reflected in its use in various films, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mystery Date, The Royal Tenenbaums and Star Trek: Insurrection.
