Composed by Domenico Scarlatti. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Baroque,Easter,Sacred,Standards. 15 pages. Jmsgu3 #4627495. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.550389).

Domenico Scarlatti's Andante Mosso, Sonata No. 33, also known as the Keyboard Sonata in B minor, K.87, was composed in the 18th century. The historical context of this sonata can be understood by examining the period in which Scarlatti lived and worked:

Location: Scarlatti spent much of his career in Spain as a music teacher to the royal family.

Influence: Scarlatti's music was influenced by his time's Italian and Iberian musical traditions.

Popularity: Scarlatti's sonatas, including the Andante mosso, Sonata No. 33, gained popularity in the 20th century, thanks in part to the championing of his works by renowned pianists like Vladimir Horowitz.

Significance: Scarlatti's sonatas are considered a significant contribution to the musical and technical standards of keyboard instruments during his time.
 
The Andante mosso, Sonata No. 33, reflects Scarlatti's unique style and innovation in keyboard music, featuring a spirited and agile melody that captures the listener's attention.

Étude Op. 10, No. 1 in C major is a study for solo piano composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1829. It was first published in 1833 in France, Germany, and England as the first piece of his Études Op. 10. This study in reach and arpeggios focuses on stretching the fingers of the right hand. The American music critic James Huneker (1857–1921) compared the hypnotic charm that these dizzy acclivities and descents exercise for eye as well as ear to the frightening staircases in Giovanni Battista Piranesi's prints of the Carceri d'invenzione. Virtuoso pianist Vladimir Horowitz, who refused to perform this étude in public, said, For me, the most difficult one of all (the études) is the C Major, the first one, Op. 10, No. 1..

Felix Mikhailovich Blumenfeld (19 April 1863 [O.S. 7 April] – 21 January 1931) was a Russian composer, conductor, pianist, and teacher.

He was born in Kovalevka, Kherson Governorate, Russian Empire (today - part of Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine), the son of Mikhail Frantsevich Blumenfeld and the Polish Marie Szymanowska, and studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and piano under Fedor Stein between 1881 and 1885. He then taught piano there himself from 1885 until 1918, whilst also serving as conductor of the Mariinsky Theatre until 1911.

This theatre saw the premieres of the operas composed by his teacher and mentor Rimsky-Korsakov, and he was also the conductor at the Russian premiere of Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde.

In 1908, he conducted the Paris premiere of Modest Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov.

From 1918 to 1922, he was the director of the Music-drama school of Mykola Lysenko in Kiev, where, amongst others, Vladimir Horowitz was a pupil in his masterclasses. He returned to the Moscow Conservatory in 1922, teaching there until his death. Other famous pupils of his include Simon Barere, Maria Yudina and Maria Grinberg. He died in Moscow.

As a pianist, he played many of the compositions of his Russian contemporaries. His compositions, which showed the influence of Frédéric Chopin and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, include a symphony, pieces for solo piano, an Allegro de Concert for piano and orchestra, and lieder. His virtuoso pieces for piano in particular are enjoying something of a renaissance in recent years.

He was the uncle of Heinrich Neuhaus and first cousin, once removed of Karol Szymanowski (Felix and Karol's father, Stanislaw Szymanowski, were cousins).
