A Hungarian middle-section is book-ended by Schubert's scintillating scale passages. Pure pianism.

BACH TOCCATA for PIANO in G - MAJOR BWV 916 BACH TOCCATA for PIANO in G - MAJOR BWV 916

GRIEG - NOTTURNO from the LYRIC PIECES for PIANO GRIEG - NOTTURNO from the LYRIC PIECES for PIANO
One of Greig's most gorgeous works. At first hearing, Grieg's shimmering Notturno (from Lyric Pieces) might easily be mistaken for Scriabin.

The piece alternately sparkles and shimmers, with the long lines of counterpoint softly illuminated.
