Composée en 1796, cette sonate n°20 est dite également sonate facile comme la sonate n°19 en sol mineur opus 49 n°1.
Son écriture précède la première sonate de cet opus 49. Malgré la difficulté d'éditer sa partition chez des éditeurs allemand, la sonate n°20 parut finalement à Vienne en 1805 au Bureau de l'art et de l'industrie.
Cette sonate se caractérise par une grande simplicité dans l'écriture, mais montre plus d'originalité dans le traitement compositionnel que la première sonate de l'opus 49. Luminosité, profonde grâce et richesse dans le développement du thème sont représentés dans cette deuxième sonate. Elle se compose de deux mouvements comme dans la première : un Allegro ma non troppo et un Tempo di Menuetto.
Le deuxième mouvement est un menuet d'une grande originalité. Il utilise un thème d'une chanson populaire des pays rhénans sur un ton accueillant d'une grande gaieté. Il faut noter que Beethoven aime particulièrement ce thème car il l'a employé dans d'autres oeuvres comme dans son septuor opus 20 et l'Adagio de son Trio opus 11.
Dans la sonate n°20 figurent les prémices des grandes difficultés des 32 sonates que propose Beethoven. Facile et intéressante au niveau de l'écriture, cette pièce amènera le pianiste à entrer dans les méandres profonds de l'esprit du compositeur.

An epic programmatic piece, Forged In Fire is a work of vibrant energy, vivid color and immense power. It draws inspiration from the immense power and uses of fire, and its effect on early civilization and industrialization. A calm and sensitive introductions leads to a new theme at a quickening tempo. This theme, stated simply at first, is then embellished by a driving rhythm multi-meter effect, and further developed with layered contemporary harmonies, changing textures and variations on the theme. After a breathtaking climax, the original theme is restated, more powerfully this time. It then subsides, before building to a shimmering, red hot ending that will leave your audience breathless. Certain to become a mainstay for concert and festival use. Not to be missed!

L’opus 39 est composé de seize valses. La version d’origine publiée en 1865 est à quatre mains, mais Brahms en crée une version simplifiée à deux mains qui parait en 1867. Le compositeur signe avec ses seize valses exquises son unique témoignage de la tradition viennoise.
L'écriture de ces valses est d'une grande simplicité. Leurs structures sont différentes de celles des valses viennoises de Strauss. Elles ne présentent ni introduction lente, ni trio, ni coda mais s'apparentent plutôt à un ländler par la sobriété de la pièce. Toutes ces valses sont de formes ABA où deux motifs thématiques s'entremêlent et se lient l’un à l’autre.
Le registre de la mélodie de la Valse n°5 en mi majeur est assez inhabituel. Celle-ci chante dans l'intermédiaire du piano, à la voix d'alto. Elle est enveloppée de notes longues et tenues sur un ton nostalgique où l'on distingue un accompagnement en croches constantes sur une durée de temps régulière.
A l'opposé du caractère de cette valse n°5, se présente sur un ton enjoué la valse n°9 en ré mineur. D'une grande expressivité, cette pièce à danser a un rythme binaire sur un tempo à 4/4. Beaucoup de soupirs s'entremêlent dans cette valse. Rossini y voyait des réminiscences d'une valse de Schumann du recueil Davidsbündler.
Les pianistes amateurs de valses viennoises et de Strauss seront étonnés de découvrir que Brahms s'est évertué à vouloir « faire valser » son public. Ecoutez ces deux petites valses harmonieuses et mélancoliques pour finalement laisser libre court à la danse.

An exceptional band piece that utilizes music John wrote especially for the PBS production of Within These Walls, which showcases the history of our Presidential residence during its 200th year. Originally scored and recorded by the U.S. Marine Band with strings, John later arranged the music for band only and it will be performed by the Marine Band on tour. This published arrangement is slightly simplified and shortened from that version. Sections of the piece represent various important time periods in the history of The White House. The very nature of this time capsule approach makes this number a wonderful tool for teaching musical style concepts. Challenging!
