Easier Piano Pieces 73-Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) was an Austrian musician. Best known in his time as a publisher he famously wrote a Waltz theme and in a publicity stunt sent it to 50 leading Austrian composers asking them to write a variation on it. However Beethoven got carried away and wrote a complete set of 33 variations which now bear Diabelli?s name consigning him to the same class of fame as Goldbach. These Seven Sonatinas (Op. 168) were written in 1839 and have remained popular examples of the Sonatina form. They are all in three movements and follow a similar Moderato - Andante - Rondo structure.

The Four Sonatinas Op. 151 and Seven Sonatinas Op. 168 have proved to be the most enduring of Diabelli's compositions because of their importance as study material for pianists in the intermediate grades. Approximately the same difficulty as Clementi's famous Six Sonatinas Op. 36.

Franz Schubert était l'un des compositeurs les plus prolifiques de la musique de piano ensemble, et l'Allegro in A Minor, Op.. 144, démontre sa maîtrise à l'écriture pour un piano à quatre mains. Ce travail important et passionnée a été composée en 1828, l'année de la mort de Schubert. Il est écrit en forme sonate-allegro et peut avoir été conçu comme le premier mouvement d'une sonate. Il a d'abord été publié par Anton Diabelli en 1840 avec le titre Lebensstürme: Characterischeres Allegro (tempêtes de la vie: Caractéristique Allegro). L'Allegro fait un usage intensif du chromatisme, napolitains accords sixième, et les contrastes de l'humeur. On y trouve aussi un enregistrement de CD en circulation de l'étiquette Naxos. / Piano
