"We come to a piece that may, I fear, offend purists on two counts: 1) it dares to add a supplement to the perfect music of J S Bach; 2) unlike all the other pieces on this album, it was published not in 1851, but—shock horror—in 1853!"

Bill Evans changed the vocabulary of jazz piano through his harmonic language and sensitivity to silence. Here, in “My Foolish Heart,” that influence is unmistakable, and is an enduring lesson preserved through archival performance.

#IgorStravinsky dedicated his 'Trois Mouvements de Pétrouchka' (1921) to #ArthurRubinstein and they shared common artistic circles, but they often operated in different musical spheres, with Rubinstein preferring the Romantic repertoire while Stravinsky was a modernist 🎶🎹❤️

Avui fa 63 anys que va morir el compositor francès, FRANCIS POULENC (París, 7 de gener de 1899 - París, 30 de gener de 1963)
Vídeo: Poulenc tocant un extracte del 2n mov. del seu "Concert per a 2 pianos a Re menor" amb el seu amic, el pianista Jacques Février, l'any 1959.

*Francis Poulenc i Alícia de Larrocha van interpretar aquest mateix concert, el 15 de maig de 1950, al Palau de la Música de Barcelona, esdeveniment del qual l'Alícia sempre va guardar un gratíssim record.
