Bortkiewicz’s Op. 54 #6, Marquise, purportedly means “Marchioness”. That is not any sort of English — if indeed it is any at all — up with which I’ve previously had to put. The #pianominiature is scarcely longer than its title, though, and does make sense to my ears. #dailypiano #pianominiatures #piano #pianomusic #classicalmusic #classicalpiano #romanticism #bortkiewicz #bortkevych

Bortkiewicz’s #pianominiatures are not exclusively idyllic fairy-tale settings. There are pairs of Lamentations and Consolations, (which we’ll visit), for instance, and some of the Preludes also run darker. For today’s #dailypiano, the Op. 33 #6 Prelude: https://youtu.be/E_REwc3rOCA

For today’s #dailypiano #pianominiature, it’s yet another old favorite of mine from Grieg’s Lyric Pieces: Op. 71 #6 Forbi (“Gone”). Not a lot of notes, but some of them are C#, and the rest are tricky to hold together on the maybe 5th read-through.

Here’s one of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces that I’ve heard (and loved) for decades. Finally putting hands to Op. 57 #6, Heimweh (“Homesickness”). Hands are pretty happy. What differences in style do you notice from the earlier Op. 12 works?

More Bowen, a bit less miniature: from the same set of Op. 102 Preludes, #6 in D minor. I can feel my brain expanding.

Today, it’s Mompou’s Impressions Íntimes #6, “La barca”. Some chewy harmonies and passing tones, and a bunch of chances to make sense of them. The baby has understood to slow herself down.

Today’s #dailypiano #pianominiature is from Mompou’s Cançons i danses (the cançó from #6). I’ve now put hands on all the piano ones except #14, for which I haven’t yet found the sheet music.

All of these are some of my favorites, and so is this one.
