Maple Leaf RagScott Joplin
This piece, composed by Scott Joplin in 1899, is a ragtime piano work that was also used as background music in the film The Sting.
Ragtime is a music genre that flourished mainly in the United States from the late 19th to the early 20th century, heavily influenced by African American music, and is considered one of the roots of jazz.
The piece is notable for its syncopated rhythms.
Symphony No. 9Anton Bruckner
It is the last symphony Bruckner worked on and was left unfinished when the composer passed away.
Even today, attempts to complete the fourth movement continue.
Overall, it is filled with richly bright timbres; the opening proceeds at a slightly brisk tempo, and from the middle it paints a beautiful, flowing, dance-like scene.
Toward the end, there is a quietly dreamy comfort, and it concludes in a rather understated manner.
The absence of unnecessary accelerations or decelerations is appealing.
SinfoniettaLeoš Janaček
This is one of Janáček’s final orchestral works.
It’s also well known for appearing in Haruki Murakami’s novel 1Q84.
The first movement, which begins with a striking trombone melody and features the brass in full force, is extremely sensational.
Another hallmark is the expansive fanfare written in a pentatonic scale.
