Music
|
|
Good day, good listener of Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
I would like to share with you some of my favorite Creative Commons music.
|
|

|
|

|
|
What you are going to hear is some of the greatest music that has ever been made.
|
|
I'm going to focus on music that's energetic because that's the type of music I tend to prefer.
|
|
Our first piece is called piano sonata number 14 and she's sharp minor.
|
|
Moonlight Sonata opera 27 number 2 by Ludwig Van Beethoven.
|
|
This was completed in the year 1801,
|
|
and dedicated to 17-year-old Countess Guisciardi,
|
|
whom Beethoven was or had been in love.
|
|
The nickname Moonlight derives from an 1832 description of the first movement by poet Ludwig Rellstub,
|
|
who compared it to Moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne.
|
|
And so here for your listening pleasure is Moonlight Sonata opera 27 number 2,
|
|
movement 3, Prestel performed by Paul Pittman on piano.

That song really energizes me.
|
|
Let's keep the energy levels up as we move on to another favorite of mine by Ludwig Van Beethoven.
|
|
Symphony number 5, which was finished and first performed in the year 1808.
|
|
It achieved fame going on to become one of the most popular compositions in classical music.
|
|
Beethoven was in his mid-30s at the time, with increasing deafness troubling his life.
|
|
In the world at this time, the period was marked by the Napoleonic Wars.
|
|
The symphony acquired status as a central item in the repertoire as it was groundbreaking
|
|
in terms of both technical and emotional impact,
|
|
had a large influence on composers and music critics,
|
|
and inspired works by such composers as Brahms, Chikovsky, and Brookner.
|
|
The first movement was featured on the Voyager Golden Record.
|
|

If you are a fan of Frederick Chopin,
|
|
then this next piece will be a treat to your ears.
|
|
The next song I'm going to play is Chopin's fantasy impromptu,
|
|
written in 1934 and dedicated to Julian Fontana.
|
|
The fantasy impromptu draws many elements from Beethoven's
|
|
Moonlight Sonata, which you heard at the beginning of this episode.
|
|
This piece may be a rare instance in which a musical genius discloses
|
|
what he actually hears in the music of another musical genius.
|
|
And so, with no further ado, I give you fantasy impromptu.

In the next episode, we'll make it one of the best moments of the theatre
|
|
in the Golden Wave Years, one of the best moments of the theatre in the Golden Wave Arts Museum.
|
|
Let us return to Beethoven, with piano sonata, number eight, and sea minor.
|
|
Sonata number 8 and C minor.
|
|
Op 13, commonly known as Pathatic.
|
|
This was published in 1799 and was dedicated to Beethoven's friend, Prince Karl von Litschnowski.
|
|
It is perhaps the earliest of Beethoven's compositions to achieve widespread and enduring
|
|
popularity.
|
|
In its entirety, this work takes approximately 19 minutes to perform.
|
|
For your listening pleasure today, I give you the third movement which is my favorite
|
|
as performed by the talented Paul Pitman.
|
|
Finally, let's end this episode of HPR with the first movement of piano sonata number
|
|
21, Op 53, nicknamed Waldstein.
|
|
This is considered to be one of Beethoven's greatest piano sonatas, completed in 1804.
|
|
This sonata has scoped that surpasses Beethoven's previous sonatas and is one of his most
|
|
technically challenging compositions.
|
|
It's a key work early in his heroic decade between 1803 and 1812.
|
|
And set the stage for piano compositions in the grand manner, both in Beethoven's
|
|
later work and all future composers.
|
|
Once again, this piece was performed by the very talented Paul Pitman.
|
|
Enjoy.
|
|
I hope this episode brought energy and happiness to your day, and I sincerely hope you enjoyed
|
|
listening to it every bit as much as I enjoyed making it.
|
|
Well, until next time, this is Paul Quirk, signing off.
|
|
Please remember to drive safe and have fun.
