    Frédéric François Chopin (/ˈʃoʊpæ̃/; French: [fʁedeʁik fʁɑ̃swa ʃɔpɛ]̃ ; 1 March

    1810 – 17 October 1849) was a Polishcomposer and virtuoso pianist of


    the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide
    renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a
    professional technique that was without equal in his generation."[1]

    Grande Valse Brilliant in Eb major was the first waltz he ever published.

    Brahms's Intermezzi - Tenderly Lyrical Piano Music

    Each Brahms Intermezzo has a peaceful tenderness, reflecting the composer's late-life
    introspection.

    The 18 short intermezzi are some of the very last solo piano pieces Brahms ever
    wrote. Listeners and pianists frequently overlook them since they're not grand or
    exciting.

    But in my opinion, they're hugely worthy pieces. They're some of the most intimate,
    thoughtful pieces Brahms ever wrote - an excellent insight into the composer's mind!

    The most popular Brahms intermezzo is Op. 118 No. 2. It's a sweetly melancholy
    piece, with a strong tinge of melancholy.

    Another popular Brahms intermezzo is Op. 117 No. 1. The composer himself called this
    set of intermezzi "lullabies to my sorrows".

    The poem, "Lady Ann Bothwell's Lament" inspired Brahms to write the first two. They
    definitely have the feeling of sad lullabies.

    Grieg Notturno from set of ‘Lyric Pieces’ which describe a character or mood. This
    Notturno literally translates to Night time and is inspired by the stillness of the
    evening mood after the busy day.

    Final piece – Chopin Grande Valse brilliante – Ab major
