Sullivan got in a lot of trouble when he was younger. I am slowly trying to build my story and showcase more character / story from it! My commissions are open if you want some art by me, just send me a message!

Piano Through The Ages: A Playlist, now with explorations

“Prelude in C Major” by Johann Sebastian Bach

I started with a Baroque piece because that was around the time where the direct forerunners to pianos - harpsichords and clavichords - were invented.

2. “Piano Sonata No. 16 in C Major” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

For the second track, I chose a Classical piece by Mozart, who wrote over eighteen piano sonatas. "Piano Sonata No. 16", a piano learner's favorite, is often labeled facile or semplice.

3. “Impromptu No. 3 in G Flat Major” by Franz Schubert

Moving generally forward in chronological order, here we have a piece by Schubert, who composed with a style that was both Classical and Romantic.

4. “Für Elise” by Ludwig Van Beethoven

The great Beethoven revolutionized Western art music, moving it from Classicism to Romanticism. He wrote music for many instruments, including the still-developing piano.

5. “Nocturne No. 2 in E Flat Major” by Fryderyk Chopin

Chopin, an early Romantic, wrote music almost exclusively for the piano and popularized it as a musical instrument. His work is known for its beautiful melodies and inventive harmonies.

6. “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C Sharp Minor” by Franz Liszt

Liszt, a contemporary of Chopin's, was renowned for his electrifying showmanship and dazzling piano concerts. This is arguably his most famous piece, almost all of which are difficult on a technical level.

7. “Arabesque No. 1” by Claude Debussy

This is a piece characteristic of Impressionism, a movement that began in France at the twilight of the Romantic era. While Romanticism was overwrought, Impressionism favored simplicity.

8. “Prélude in C Sharp Minor” by Sergei Rachmaninoff

As the Romantic era ended and the 20th century began, composers of Western art music turned to multiculturalism and innovation while largely rejecting the traditions of their Romantic forebears.

9. “The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin

The end of the Romantic era in Europe coincided with a period of musical exploration across the Atlantic, in the United States. "The Entertainer" is an example of ragtime, a favorite genre of the time.

10. “I Got Rhythm” by George Gershwin

With the 20th century in full swing, the United States produced a new musical genre: jazz. It originated from African-American musical traditions and is characterized by colorful chords and rhythms.

11. “The Name of Life” by Joe Hisaishi

As new musical genres arrived rapidly onto the scene throughout the 20th century, the piano found use in almost all of them. "The Name of Life" uses the solo piano in soundtrack and theme music.

12. “River Flows in You” by Yiruma

The piano continues to be a popular instrument today, with Yiruma's "River Flows in You" being an example of a New Age genre solo piano track of the 21st century.
