The Piano Shop on the Left Bank . . . continued! Here I list musical selections mentioned in the book. I'm only on page 107 and this is what I have got so far:
p20: Bach's 1st Prelude from The Well-Tempered Clavier
p25: Chopin's Heroic Polonaise in A-flat
p27: Beethoven Bagatelles
p41: Puccini's La Boheme / This is the woman Aristotle Onasas dumped to marry Jackie / (Just wait and listen to Ava Maria which follows. I love her!)
p50: Hanon's 1st finger exercise - less than a minute I PROMISE!! Larry: she moves too much. Hands, wrists and arms MUST STAY STILL. Only the fingers move.
p60: Bach Prelude No. 9 / It ends at 1:23
p62: a Schubert Waltz
p62: Chopin Ballade No. 3 / Stay with it (all 7.5 minutes!) as it is absolutely delightful and equally spectacular / This Ballade graced the keys of my piano for hours and hours at the hands of both my mother and myself.
p84: Haydn Sonata but just the first movement
p85 & p86: One of Beethoven's "last piano sonatas" - the Hammerklavier / It's45 minutes so maybe do your email while listening if you want to hear the whole thing?
p87: Liszt. You HAVE to listen to this to get an idea of what Carhart is going on about Liszt's slaughter of pianos!
p98: Bach's first 2 part Invention
p98: Mendelssohn song
p100: Brahms Intermezzo / Angela is one of my favorite Canadian pianists and this is gorgeous / This would be an encore
p102: Bartok Mikrokosmos
p102: A Minuet from The Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach / Bet you weren't expecting this!! ;)
p104: Mozart Fantasy in D minor
p105: Bach's Goldberg Variations / 1.5 hours / hmmm, find something to do?
