Best Piano Music

Fun to listen, Fun to play.

Alternating legato and non legato in the melody of this piece.

Not a single chord... but beautiful harmonies.

Many 'Schumanesque' moments in this one.

A melancholic tune.

Must have been the morning of a day with lots of fun things to look forward to

You can almost see the farmer's smile.

A bit serious. Even kids have this mood.

Seems like an announcement around the block for kids to join in playing a game

Ernesto Nazareth: Segredos da Infância (Valsa) by Carlos Márquez

After I recorded this I checked YouTube and found a bunch of kids playing this one. I guess is a popular piece for young pianists. Published in 1867

I've never heard of the composer Wolf Ebann (1832-1888)... but take a few minutes to listen. ------------- Wolf Ebann was a Lithuanian-Jewish composer born in 1832, in Kedainiai (in Lithuania, then part of the Russian Empire). He was first taught music (piano) by his father and uncle. From the age of 11 he studied violin in Lithuania and abroad. Later he became director of the orchestra in Kaunas. Between 1874 and 1884 he worked at the Vilnius Teacher Training Institute and he was appointed as the director of the Vilnius Department of the Russian Music Society and conductor of the Vilnius City Theater Orchestra. He died in Yalta on 10 November 1888. ------------- I found the score by chance: https://musescore.com/user/18902116/scores/6073083 Background Image by me: Palácio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz Lisbon, Portugal
