Mozart wrote his Piano Concerto in D minor, K466, for his subscription concerts held during the Lenten season of 1785. According to the entry in his own autograph catalogue of works, it was completed on 10 February 1785 and given its premiere one day later. Leopold Mozart, then visiting in Vienna, mentioned the piece in a letter of 14 February to his daughter: An excellent new piano concerto by Wolfgang was being written out by the copyist when we arrived, and your brother had not even had time to play through the Rondo as he had to supervise the work of copying. This Urtext edition of the concerto (with orchestral accompaniment arranged for second piano - 2 copies required for performance) has been edited by world-renowned musicologist Christoph Wolff together with pianist Christian Zacharias. Contains the cadenzas (WoO58) by Beethoven, who gave the first public performance of the concerto in Vienna, in appendix.

Andante" from Symphony No. 5 by Felix Mendelssohn and arranged by William LaRue Jones is the Symphony's third movement. It is written in an operatic aria style, with the first violins singing the opening lyrical melody over a pulsating accompaniment. Mendelssohn's compositional style belongs to the Romantic period with its more emotional, expressive qualities. The Andante increasingly engages each string section, expanding the interplay of parts and infusing more rhythmic drama before ending in calm serenity. This is an excellent composition for students to develop tone quality, learn the functions of "foreground and background" in balancing parts, and experience the emotional shifts of a Romantic composition.

Experience the power and intensity in this forceful melody depicting bravery in battle. Beginning in A minor, every section of the orchestra plays Kathryn Griesinger's resolute motif of the Stone Tower, marching forward with steadfast courage into the darkness. Players will encounter bow techniques, including staccato, accents, and slurred legato phrases that soar over ostinato lines. A sudden turn to B minor adds an unexpected twist as the fearless orchestra advances to a victorious finale. (1:50)

A sweet miniature composed for solo piano in 1937, Mystic Flute consists of two voices: a simple melody in the harmonic minor scale balanced by an ostinato accompaniment in 7/8 meter that gives the work a hypnotic and ceremonial spirit. The melodic line begins in the top voice, before moving to the bass voice, and returning to the top voice with small ornamentation. No notes were removed from the piano score in this guitar arrangement by Aaron Larget-Caplan, and all dynamic and phrase markings follow the original score as well. This arrangement was premiered on July 29, 2018 at the Coaster Theater in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Marc-André Hamelin's Suite à l'ancienne is, as the title might suggest, a Baroque-style suite in six movements, each with the unmistakable wit and virtuosity that characterizes Hamelin's compositions. Hamelin's Praémbule" takes J. S. Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy" as the jumping off point for a wild flight of fancy followed by, the deceptively amiable amble of the "Allemende", the moto perpetuo sprint of the "Corrente", the decadent embroidery of the "Air avec agréments", and the "Gavotte et Musette's" contrast between staccato strut and pedal-heavy pedal point, before concluding with a spectacular "Gigue". Rachel Naomi Kudo commissioned the Suite à l'ancienne, about 16 minutes duration, after impressing Hamelin with her performance of his "Toccata on L'homme armé" in the Van Cliburn International Competition. Funding the commission with her Gilmore Young Artist Award, Kudo suggested the idea of a work inspired by the music of J. S. Bach and went on to premiere the Suite in a performance streaming from Pordenone, Italy on February 21, 2021, presented by the Irving S. Gilmore International Piano Festival."
