Alla turca: AllegrettoVery popular sonata of mozart. Virtue depends strongly on pianist and piano played on. The link I've chosen refers to a performance of Friedrich Gulda which is in my opinion one of the best recordings of Alla turca and has a very brilliant sounding.
Gulda plays it up-tempo without loosing important accentuations. The play starts softly and vividly at the same time and guides the listener's mood without any prompt interruptions or jumps - even between passages.
Gradually the play gains power up to a (first) peak at about 1:50 at which one as a listener is already excited. Mozart accomplished to even exceed this peak by another one at the end which is the total climax of the sonata. Immediately afterwards the play is ended leaving an impressed and stunned listener.Mozart
Butterflies And HurricanesGreat song! As you expect from the title it has many changes of tempo and dynamics.
Best part in the song is the piano solo. I'm very excited especially about that.Muse
Fantasy For TwoThis little duet for cello and piano was played as part of our wedding ceremony. We wanted to have an instrumental piece of music in the middle as a little contrast to all the other pop songs with vocals, which were sung by one of our friends who is an opera singer.
The version you can hear here is completely computer-made. Of course the cello cannot compete with the beautiful sound of a real cello played by a skilled cellist. I'd really like to offer you the live recording of the wedding ceremony performance. But unfortunately you cannot hear much of the cello part in it because we were not prepared to do a high quality recording. Michael van LaarAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License
