(play the video)
The next musical instrument is the Piano music. What is
piano music? Will you please read Mr./Ms. Balin
Thank you, Mr./Ms., Balin
One of the most famous composers of piano music is
Frederic Chopin, he was known as the “Poet of the
Piano”. Any idea was he was called the “Poet of the
piano”?
Yes, you’re right Chopin was called the “Poet of the
Piano” because of his compositions include piano, most
are for solo piano. It's said that no one understood the
piano better than Chopin. He could make it sound
romantic and poetic. Most of Frederic Chopin's tunes
were short pieces but he could pour out a happy, sad,
passionate or dreamy tune that was perfect in terms of
form and style.
Nicolo Paganini was born on October 27, 1782, in
Geona, Italy. His musical skill started with playing the
mandolin at the age of five. He eventually transferred his
training to the violin at the age of seven with different
violin professors in Italy. Paganini became the most
famous violin virtuoso in the world. His composition
inspired a lot of other composers such as Franz Liszt,
Frederick Chopin, and Robert Schumann.
Here are some Works of Nicolo Paganini:
 “La Campanella”- The nickname ‘La
Campanella’ means little bell and you can hear
the bell effect in the high repeated notes in the
right hand. (In Paganini's original there is an
actual handbell.)
(Teacher presents and plays the sound)
His second work is 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op.1
The third one is Concerto No. 1 in Eb, Op. 6
Next, is the 15 Quartets for Guitar and Strings Trio
And last, is The Carnival of Venice”
Piano music pertains to the sheet music to be played on a
piano. Piano music of the Romantic period was filled
with innovations. Most of the compositions require a
high level of virtuosity.
Virtuosity means they had a great performing ability in
the fine arts. Today, some piano compositions from the
Romantic period have been adapted into songs. An
example of this is Chopin’s etude Op. 10, No. 3 in E
major that was used for the song “No Other Love”.
Frederic Chopin sir.
He was born on March 1, 1810 in Zelazowa, Poland. He
began to play piano at the age of 4. He composed (student do as told)
polonaise at the age of 7. Polonaise is a stately Polish
processional dance, performed by couples who walk
around the dance hall; the music is in triple meter and
moderate tempo. He studied piano at Warsaw
Conservatory and most of his music was influenced by
folk music.

Chopin is famous for the following. Please read Mr.

Naldoza Ballade- a fixed verse form consisting usually of three
stanzas with recurrent rhymes, an envoi, and an identical
refrain for each part.
Etude- a piece composed for the development of a
specific technique.
Mazurka- a Polish dance in triple-time signature.
Nocturne- an instrumental composition of a pensive,
dreamy mood, for the piano.
Polonaise- a slow polish dance in triple time that consist
of a march or procession.
Prelude- a short piece of music that can be used as a
preface, and introduction to another work or may stand
on its own.
Impromptu- a short free-form musical composition
usually for a solo instrument, like the piano.
Scherzo- a musical movement of the playful character,
typically on ABA form.
Sonata- composition for one or more solo instruments
usually consisting of three or four independent
movements varying in key, mood, and tempo.
Thank you, okay Let’s watch and hear one of the best
wok of Frederic Chopin

Another famous composer of piano music is Franz

Liszt. The best word that describes the work of Fran
Liszt is “virtuosity”. He was known as the virtuoso
pianist, composer, and busiest musician during the Because he composed mostly pieces for the solo piano,
romantic era. He played and studied in Vienna and Paris Sir.
while performing in concerts in the rest of Europe. A
turning point came when, in his early twenties, Liszt
heard the virtuoso violinist Niccolo Paganini perform so
he decided to dedicate himself in becoming a virtuoso
pianist. He was known for his symphonic poems which
he translated great literary works into musical
compositions.

Some of Liszt’s Piano works. Please read Ms. Gandeza  La Campanella

 Liebestraume No. 3
 Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsodies” was originally
written for solo piano, but many were arranged
for orchestra or other combinations of
instruments. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 is the
most popular and was the basis for the Tom and
Jerry cartoon called Cat Concerto.
 Un Sospiro
 Sonatata in B minor
  Arrangement of the 9 Beethoven Symphonies
 Transcriptions of Lieder by Schubert; he also has
Orchestral compositions like
 Symphonic Poems (Hamlet, Les Preludes).
Okay, now let’s hear the super-famous Liebestraume by
Liszt, which is a set of 3 notturnos (nocturnes) translated
as “Dreams of Love”. This is the third Liebestraume of
Franz Liszt entitled “oh love as long as you can”.

This song reminds us to live and love, while you can.

Life is fleeting and impermanent, but love is forever.

And finally, we have the last composer of Piano music
which is Robert Schumann. One of the famous romantic
composers that beautifully combined music and words.
He was a composer and a music critic. His father
wanted him to study law and so in 1821, Schumann
went to Leipzig to study law. However, he spent most of
his time in musical and literary circles thru the effort of
Freidrich Weick who took some time to teach
Schumann how to play the piano. Here are some of
Robert Schumann’s work: may you please read Mr.
