This is a piece I am submitting to the Piano World Forum recital.

Mendelssohn Consolation Op 30, No 3

Chopin Prelude 28.20 C Min

Milonga del Angel is a piece by Astor Piazzolla. A Milonga is an Argentinian style of music similar to a Tango, it is almost waltz-like although it is in 4/4 time. The beats can be counted as 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2 in some measures, giving it a characteristic feel. Emphasis is on beats 1,4,5, and 7. Astor Piazzola (1921-1992), an Argentinian composer, played in the style of Nuevo Tango, which he helped create. He recorded the Angel suite of three pieces in 1965. This is the second of the series. An adult beginner, I have been playing piano for 4.5 years as of this recording. The piece is played in the key of B minor, modulating to C minor in the middle section, before returning to B minor towards the end. While the performance is not flawless, this piece tests the limits of my capabilities at this point in time. Enjoy.

Chopin Prelude 28.4

This is the Liszt Consolation 3 in Db. This piece was composed around 1849, in the Nocturne style, and is felt to be in homage to Liszt's contemporary, Fredric Chopin, who had just died.
