Piano instructor Monika Twelsiek from Cologne introduces a new installment in the Schott Piano Classics series. Following her exploration of 'Impressionism', she now tackles the complex theme of 'Emotions'. The author has examined how to convey 'emotions' through music, resulting in a thorough compilation of 35 musical pieces. This collection spans a range of feelings, from the 'depression' expressed in Telemann's 'Burlesca' to the 'sorrow' found in Chopin's renowned march, as well as the 'humor' in Schubert's landler and the 'melancholy' present in more contemporary works like Copland's 'Sentimental Melody' and William Gillock's 'Blue Mood', among others. The familiar is contrasted with the unfamiliar, and the geographical scope extends from Europe to North and South America. This collection offers a distinctive array of profoundly emotional music.
