A 20th-century work by Ernst Toch, Der Jongleur is a great "grande finale" piece to impress an audience. It's spontaneous and fun, and truly a pleasure to play. |

One of Beethoven's many major contributions to piano repertoire, the Pathetique sonata in c minor is one of his most popular works. The third movement is an extended rondo (A-B-A-C-A-B-A-coda) in c minor and truly contrasts the different sides of his transitional style. |

Chopin was called the "poet of the piano" because of his expressive harmonies and melodies - truly a romantic in the finest sense. His etudes are very experimental; this one was written while young Chopin was still a teenager. Its melancholy melody soars forth in two instances, separated by a excitable, dancelike middle section. |
