What is more intriguing for us than the moon and moonbeams streaming earthward? And so it was for Beethoven to enthall pianists and listeners, alike, with this beautiful classic for all time. |

The melody, sotto voce, in the left hand bass clef is hauntingly beautiful. Used in both religious and secular music this song is one of my personal favorites. I enjoy it even while playing the music for myself and for others. |

With seemingly few notes, perhaps the most heard of all of the Preludes. It is intricately difficult. It is probably my favorite of all of the 28 Preludes by Chopin. |

This song depicts, musically, a lovely afternoon in a meadow, interrupted by raindrops which become a violent storm with loud claps of thunder. But the sun comes out to shine again and all is well in the end.

In the Greek Isles, perhaps, even if only imagining, a slow, but provocative dance. Gymnodedies. This one, Number One, is my personal favorite. I always enjoy playing it or hearing it, no matter. |

As in life, we must balance between loud and quiet, harsh and soft, heavy and light. This song, brilliant of Chopin, subtly reminds us. |

If only we could find it in our hearts to live by the words to this song which has endured as a favorite for decades. The music (without words) heard here is equally inspiring. |
