Antonio VIVALDI Concerto in G minor for strings & basso continuo (RV 156) - Allegro

Chopin's 24 Preludes satisfy so many different tastes in a single opus. from the (mostly) serene A Major (no. 7) to the whimsical F Major (no. 23), elegant and moving Bb Major (No. 21), the energetic but unsettling G Minor (no. 22) and the restless finale, D Minor (no. 24), 

One could easily mistake the Preludes for being minimalistic in scope. But unlike other expansive works, whether by Chopin himself or other great composers, these preludes cover enormous territory: in traditional sonata form, the composer settles on a very limited number of themes and then expands and transforms these basic ideas into elaborate musical tapestries woven with but two or three threads. Chopin here, though, invents not two or three key themes but several dozen of them, and then let’s each one free to follow its own direction.

This is Joachim Raff's piano solo arrangement with some small alterations. 

Commonly known as "Air on the G String" but that's actually the title of an arrangement of this movement for violin and piano.

Michael Henry Zimmerman studied piano with Anne Koscielny, Raymond Hanson, Morton Estrin and Louis Nagel. He is an alumnus of Interlochen Arts Academy and Deerfield Academy, and a graduate of Hartt College of Music (Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance). He was fortunate to have been born to musically discerning parents who wisely encouraged him to pursue graduate studies and a career in business instead of the piano. When not studying classical music, he consults to Fortune 500 businesses on matters of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. To this day, his passion for great music survives even when his listeners do not.
