KreislerianaRobert Schumann
‘Kreisleriana’ takes its title from ‘Kapellmeister Kreisler,’ a character in E.T.A.
Hoffmann’s stories.
It is a set of eight piano pieces composed by Robert Schumann in 1838 and dedicated to Chopin.
Passionate yet never sentimental, it dynamically conveys a literary, poetic spirit—an exhilarating, powerful work!
English Suite No. 2J.S.Bach
Even among Bach’s meticulously refined works, the English Suites possess a poised, razor-sharp coolness.
Bach’s music is effortlessly stylish without ornamentation, yet the simpler the piece, the more it tests a performer’s true ability.
It seems that playing this work with real flair requires considerable skill.

diabolical suggestionSergei Prokofiev
It’s the finale of the Four Pieces.
Those precarious modulations keep you on edge as you listen… yet it never becomes sloppy—the sonorities stay refined and tight.
This exquisite sense of balance is what makes Prokofiev so remarkable.
If you could play this, it would be incredibly cool.
Water Music, Suite No. 2 – II. Alla HornpipeGeorg Friedrich Händel
When you think of music drifting over the surface of a river, you might imagine a gentle melody; however, the section from George Frideric Handel’s Water Music is brimming with brilliance that invites listeners into a festive mood.
The piece was first performed on the River Thames in July 1717, and there is an anecdote that the king was so delighted he called for multiple encores.
With trumpets and horns resounding boldly and a buoyant, spirited character that lifts the heart, it perfectly enhances the open feeling of summer.
It is also familiar from children’s programs such as Little Einsteins, making it enjoyable across generations.
For those seeking a refreshing moment that makes you forget the muggy heat, this is a work well worth lending your ears to.
