35 Pieces On The Quirky Side

Fascinations Is A Volume Of Quirky Juxtapositions And Intriguing Pieces Of Music. L'illet Is Cheek By Jowl With Liszt, Schumann With Scarlatti And Sjogren. There Are Some Fine Newly Written Miniatures, But Also Some Extraordinary Pieces By Well Known Composers, Such As Mozart's Bizarre Funeral March Of Signor Maestro Contrapunto Or The Unsophisticated Music Making Faithfully Represented In Gounod's Les Pifferari And Tchaikovsky's The Peasant Plays The Mouth Organ. Dance Movements By Telemann, Schubert, Rameau, Jiovec And Zilcher All Have Something Unexpected Or Piquant About Them, Although They Are Technically Straightforward And A Joy To Play.
