The singing Piano, Schumann – 2nd. movement Sonate in G minor op.22.

Pianist are funny people: first they choose an instrument which is basically a percussive one, striking strings with a hammer. Then they spend most of their time practicing to make the audience forget that fact by trying to produce a beautiful tone and make the instrument “sing”.

From a horizontal point of view, Bach – Duet 1 in E minor BWV 802

Polyphony is a horizontal approach to composing as opposed to the vertical texture where a melody is accompanied, supported, “carried” by chords underneath.

Blending the sound, Liszt – Consolation nr. 3.

The creative use of the pedal. Together with a pianist’s sensitive touch a wonderful almost magical sound can be created where boundaries blur.
