“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.” ― Frédéric Chopin Chopin’s Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor was composed in 1830 and published posthumously in 1870. Though he never intended to publish it, Chopin dedicated the piece to his sister Ludwika, calling it “an exercise before beginning the study of my second Concerto.” The piece gained historical significance when Holocaust survivor Natalia Karp performed it before Amon Goeth, the commandant of a Nazi concentration camp. Moved by her playing, he spared her life. Menahem Pressler (1923–2023) was born in Germany, he fled the Nazis in 1939, later winning the Debussy International Piano Competition (1946), which launched his career. Pressler was one of the most distinguished pianists and chamber musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. As the founding pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio, he dedicated his life to music, performing, teaching, and inspiring countless musicians over nearly eight decades. Alongside his performing career, Pressler was a dedicated teacher. He taught for nearly 70 years at Indiana University Bloomington, mentoring generations of pianists. Even in his later years, he continued to perform, making his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic at the age of 90 in a globally televised New Year’s Eve concert.

Completed in 1835, Frédéric Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23 is one of his most magnificent works. Robert Schumann’s personal favourite of Chopin’s oeuvre, Ballade No. 1 is an arresting piece, and hints at the sublime storytelling that would define later Romantic music. Ballade No. 1 is an enigmatic work, incorporating seemingly disparate elements into a structurally complex whole. The introduction has a powerful urgency, with an unconstrained dissonance. Yet, this unfolds into an exquisite main theme, with a delicate, melancholy tone. Melodic beauty is constantly pursued by an encroaching shadow, suffusing Ballade No. 1 with a complex dramaturgy – which is resolved in its thundering, yet graceful ending. Enjoy this captivating performance of Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 by the inimitable Vladimir Horowitz. Vladimir Horowitz | Chopin, Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23.

Henryk Wieniawski composed his Violin Concerto No. 1 in F♯ minor, Op. 14 in 1853. The premiere took place in Leipzig that same year, with the 17-year-old composer as soloist, performing alongside the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Dedicated to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, the concerto earned Wieniawski the Great Golden Medal for Art and Science. Though rich in melodic invention, the work is especially known for its technical difficulty and use of a fully integrated cadenza. This clip features a 15-year-old Itzhak Perlman performing the finale for his teacher, Ivan Galamian. We hope you enjoy and encourage you to listen to the full performance online.

Glenn Gould (1932–1982) was one of the 20th century’s most celebrated pianists, known for his extraordinary interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s keyboard works. Gould’s playing revealed new dimensions in Bach’s music. Beyond performance, he was a prolific writer, broadcaster, and producer, creating thought-provoking television programs and radio documentaries, including his famed Solitude Trilogy. At age 31, Gould made the decision to retire from public performance, dedicating himself fully to recording and media work. Bach’s Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052 is one of his most dramatic and virtuosic harpsichord concertos. Likely adapted from a lost violin concerto, the concerto’s origins trace back to Bach’s experimentation in earlier cantatas, with some sections recycled and expanded into this definitive version. In this rare footage from 1960, Glenn Gould performs the first movement of Bach’s Keyboard Concerto No. 1 with Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic. 💡Follow @kolico_art for more history and insights into the wonderful world of classical music!

Henryk Wieniawski composed his Scherzo-Tarantelle, Op. 16, in 1855. Originally written for violin and piano, it was later arranged with orchestral accompaniment. The piece is a virtuosic showpiece structured as a rondo (ABACA with a coda), and features contrasting lyrical and fast sections. It was dedicated to Wieniawski’s teacher, Lambert Massart, and is often used as a concert encore. Erick Friedman (1939–2004) was an American violinist who studied under Jascha Heifetz and Nathan Milstein. He performed as a soloist with major orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, and the New York Philharmonic.

“A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.” – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Composed in 1788, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major, K. 543, is the first of his final three symphonies, written in rapid succession over the course of one summer. The work’s grand introduction unfolds into its finale - a fiery, energetic Allegro, whose mischievous unconventionality is typical of Mozart’s genius. While its exact premiere date is unknown, the symphony is celebrated today as part of the core symphonic repertoire. Sergiu Celibidache (1912–1996) was one of the most influential conductors of the 20th century. His approach was meticulous and philosophical, seeking above all to elevate performance into a transcendental experience. Celibidache deeply believed in the importance of live performance, leading the world’s greatest orchestras throughout his five-decade long career. The enduring influence of his technique is undeniable, standing as a powerful testament to the simultaneous intricacy and vast grandeur of classical music. Enjoy this short clip of a 1969 recording of Mozart’s Symphony No. 39, under the baton of the great Sergiu Celibidache with the Orchestra Sinfonia di Torino della RAI.

Johannes Brahms contributed the Scherzo in C minor to the F-A-E Sonata, a collaborative work composed in Düsseldorf in October 1853 by Brahms, Robert Schumann, and Albert Dietrich. The piece was conceived by Schumann as a tribute to violinist Joseph Joachim, based on his personal motto “Frei aber einsam” (“Free but lonely”). The sonata was presented to Joachim at a soirée on 28 October 1853, where he successfully identified the authors of each movement. While Brahms’s Scherzo was published posthumously in 1906, the full sonata was not published until 1935. David Oistrakh (1908–1974) was a Soviet violinist and conductor born in Odessa. He studied with Pyotr Stolyarsky and later became a professor at the Moscow Conservatory. Oistrakh collaborated with composers such as Shostakovich and Khachaturian, who dedicated major violin works to him. He made his Western debut in 1949 and later toured extensively. Oistrakh played the 1705 Marsick Stradivarius and recorded widely, including Grammy-winning performances. We hope you enjoy this clip and encourage you to listen to the full performance online.

Camille Saint-Saëns composed his Allegro appassionato in B minor, Op. 43, in late 1872. Originally scored for cello and piano, it was later orchestrated by the composer. The piece was dedicated to the French cellist Jules Lasserre, a regular collaborator of Saint-Saëns who lived in London but performed frequently in France. Though short, it is technically demanding and often used as an encore piece. Its popularity grew in the 20th century, especially due to the advocacy of Pablo Casals. Gregor Piatigorsky (1903–1976) was a Russian-born American cellist known for his expressive style and influential teaching. Born in Ekaterinoslav (now Dnipro), he studied in Moscow before escaping post-revolutionary Russia to study in Germany. At 18, he became principal cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic under Wilhelm Furtwängler. Piatigorsky later moved to the United States, teaching at Curtis and USC, and frequently performed with Jascha Heifetz and Arthur Rubinstein. Composers such as Prokofiev, Hindemith, Walton, and Stravinsky wrote works for him. He died in Los Angeles in 1976.
