After finishing with "Ojos Criollos," I went looking for a piece that would be quick and easy to transcribe (since I had exhausted myself greatly by then). I thought "La Savane" would be easy... it was anything but.

This is the first of two transcriptions of the opera Liszt created for solo piano (the second, composed in 1848, centers mainly on the opera's 'drinking song').
The full title of two movements together is 'Réminiscences de Lucrezia Borgia – Grande fantaisie sur des motifs favoris de l'opéra de Donizetti'.
In the first movement, Liszt makes a great deal of the figures heard at the outset, and he works it into the texture at every opportunity.
I have tried to set the tempo and dynamics of the score to reflect an interpretation of the piece by William Wolfram, the American pianist. The default audio uses the Salamander SoundFont.
Happy New Year everyone!Banjo No. 2 1852 by L. M.

In fact, he had already composed this elaborate "alternate version" three years prior to its release, apparently planning on having it published at a later date. Hopefully, the ossia staves don't horribly break how the score displays; there's already one barline I'm aware of that's going to display wrong, but other than that, everything should appear as it did in the original.

Celebrating it this time with the always-reliable Gottschalk and one of his pieces that seem to be not as well known. (Hopefully) obscure enough that no one else was planning on doing it too.
I don't have much to say on this piece besides it being underrated. I will say that my transcription is a bit faster than Gottschalk suggests (sorry!) for the sole purpose that I think it sounds better this way. Good luck trying to play it at this tempo, but it should be humanly possible if the video I referenced for a good tempo is anything to go off of:

Unfortunately, it's a work that's about subtlety, lyricism, and charm, three words that the music-consuming public does not want to associate with Beethoven's music of the year 1809. Like op 54, op 78 is a two-movement work, but again, we must be careful not to assume that a two-movement sonata is a lesser artwork than a three- or four-movement sonata. Think of it as not short but compact.
This first movement is a masterpiece of motivic development and transformation, with the opening notes of the introduction transformed into theme 1, the opening of the modulating bridge, theme 2, and the cadence material.Piano Sonata No. 2 1st Movement by J.

The 1837 version of this piece is in sonata form, with the first subject in C minor, second subject in E-flat major, and a recapitulation of the first subject. It is monothematic (the second subject material is derived from the first subject material). Liszt removed the final recapitulation of the first subject in the 1851 version of the piece, along with an extended bravura passage preceding it.
The piece starts with a furious quick main theme, left hand playing the melody in octaves and the right hand playing the same melody one octave higher alternatively, quickly followed with chords. The furious main theme flows into the playful melody of the secondary subject. When actually played at the original speed that Liszt indicated ("Presto furioso", or fast and furious; at around 4 and a half minutes), the piece quickly becomes formidable. Wide jumps in the beginning span about three octaves in the right hand. The lyrical middle section involves some difficult left-hand jumps rapidly spanning over two octaves. The ending involves a difficult section of octave jumps in the right hand spanning three octaves. The piece ends in a flurry of descending chords. (Wikipedia)

Although he was pleased with its commercial success, Beethoven was also aware that the Moonlight's popularity would eclipse many other of his works that he believed were of equal worth, and that is certainly true in the case of the Moonlight's sister composition, opus 27 no. 1.
Like the Moonlight, opus 27 no. 1, is labeled as a Sonata quasi una fantasia. In fact, opus 27 no. 1, is much more fantasy-like than the Moonlight, in that the same thematic material reappears regularly during the course of its four movements. The first movement continues the assault on the traditional Classical sonata template that Beethoven began in the Funeral March Sonata, opus 26, that is, beginning a piano sonata with something other than a sonata form movement. Beethoven began to experiment with moving much of the dramatic locus of the work from the first movement to the last.
The first movement of opus 27 no. 1, is an idiosyncratic construct that has been variously analyzed as a three-part structure, a theme and variations form movement, and a hybrid of theme and variations and rondo.Allegro in F major by Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus이천이십년2020-06-04 | Try the interactive tutorial, or download the Sheet music here: musescore.com/user/27394510/scores/6156814?from=youtube_share This piece, Allegro for keyboard in F, K. 1c runs to twenty-four measures (including repeats). It was composed by Wolfgang on 11 December 1761 in Salzburg. It was notated by Mozart's father, Leopold, as Wolfgang was just five years old at the time.
This piece was written for the harpsichord and is usually performed on that instrument today, though other keyboard instruments may be used. This Allegro is Mozart's earliest extant piece in F major. Like K. 1b, it is in a fast tempo. It is in rounded binary form, with repeat signs at the end of each of the sections: ||:A:||:BA:||, where A and B each consists of four bars. The music is simple and classical in style. This piece has been compared to a "jolly south German folkdance".
