Rachmaninoff Prelude In G Minor

Il lago dei cigni è uno dei più famosi e acclamati balletti del XIX secolo, musicato da Pëtr Il'ič Čajkovskij (op. 20). La prima rappresentazione ebbe luogo al Teatro Bolshoi di Mosca il 20 febbraio 1877 (calendario giuliano), con la coreografia di Julius Wenzel Reisinger.
Il libretto di Vladimir Petrovic Begičev, direttore dei teatri imperiali di Mosca insieme al ballerino Vasil Fedorovič Geltzer, è basato su un'antica fiaba tedesca, Der geraubte Schleier (Il velo rubato), seguendo il racconto di Jophann Karl August Musäus.
Primo dei tre balletti di Čajkovskij, fu composto tra il 1875 e il 1876. Viene rappresentato in quattro atti e quattro scene (soprattutto fuori dalla Russia e nell'Europa Orientale) o in tre atti e quattro scene (in Russia e Europa occidentale). Sebbene esistano molte versioni diverse del balletto, la maggior parte delle compagnie di danza basa l'allestimento, sia dal punto di vista coreografico che musicale, sul revival di Marius Petipa e Lev Ivanov per il Balletto Imperiale, presentato la prima volta il 15 gennaio 1895 (data come sopra) al Teatro Imperiale Mariinskij a San Pietroburgo, Russia.

Life teaches us all its phases, we learn how to laugh, how to cry, how to love and to forgive. So many things but just one constant, Faith. With Faith we can move mountains and touch hearts even in their most hidden places.

Faith

“Graceful Ascent” is a musical journey that unfolds with deliberate steps, like a dignified procession. The intertwining melodies of the piano and cello evoke a sense of nobility as if ascending a grand staircase toward hope and inspiration.
The piano, with its deliberate chords, represents resilience—the unwavering spirit that propels us forward. Meanwhile, the cello weaves intricate harmonies, infusing the composition with depth and emotion. Together, they create a tapestry of dignified hope, urging listeners to persevere even in the face of adversity.

Imagine standing on the edge of a precipice, gazing at the horizon. The sun’s rays break through the clouds, casting a warm glow. “Graceful Ascent” captures that moment—the quiet determination, the belief that brighter days await.

"A love of nature and the rich cultural heritage of his native Norway were the inspiration for Grieg's picturesque "Lyric Pieces," many of which were composed at his mountain retreat. Infused with spirited folk dances, colorful legends, and stunning impressions of a pristine wilderness, these passionate works of the late Romantic Era will touch you no matter who or where you are."

'Vstretjsa' is the Russian word for 'encounter'.

We wanted to tell a story with this piece. 
The piano tells the history of 2 old lovers. After many years they meet again, one represented by the violin and the other by the cello. Unfortunately they've grown apart over the years and they don't fit together anymore.
It's quite dramatic haha, we hope you like it! :)
