The first concert Frédéric Chopin gave in Paris (the city which would be his new home town) was in 1832 playing a new Pleyel piano. The press, in the person of the influential Francois-Joseph Fétis, was enthousiastic, he praised the “spiritualized melodies, the fanciful landscapes and uniqueness in all”. Chopin himself was in love with the instrument, with “the lightness of touch and the songful singsong tone”. From then on his instrument of preference would be Pleyel.
In his search for the ideal Chopin tone pianist Hubert Rutkowski studies the writings and recordings of the students of Mikuli, who himself was a student of Chopin. Notably Moritz Rosenthal and Raul Koczalski are the greatest inspirations, in their refined artistic ease, fanciful rubato and a perfect legato.

嬉遊曲(Divertimento)是一種流行於十八世紀的 輕組曲。在當時主要用在上層階級與宮廷生活(主要是在奧地利)的娛樂、社交、慶祝場合,相對於小夜曲是用於室外的演奏,嬉遊曲主要是用在室內的演奏。
嬉遊曲的語源來自於義大利文的 'divertire',有 '使人歡樂、消遣' 之意。嬉遊曲常作為小型室內合奏器樂曲,樂器組成、樂章數目以及曲式都十分自由。合奏人數通常在三到八人之間,通常由三到十個小樂章構成,曲式通常以舞曲(尤其是小步舞曲)、進行曲、變奏曲、奏鳴曲式等為主,並沒有嚴格限定。

Sandro Ivo Bartoli (born February 10, 1970 in Pisa) is an Italian pianist.
Early career
From the early 1990s, Bartoli has rediscovered, played and recorded Italian classical music from the early twentieth century, leading a fashion. His performance of the concertos of Respighi (Bedford, 1991), Malipiero (London, 1994) and Casella (1995), was followed by the first modern production in the United States of Ottorino Respighi's Toccata for piano and orchestra, with the Johnson City Symphony under Lewis Dalvit which was broadcast live by PBS and added to PBS' Great Performances series. After this success, Bartoli signed his first recording contract, with ASV, for an album of the piano works of Malipiero, and, the following year, a recording of music by Casella.

"Plaisir d'amour" (literally "Pleasure of love") is a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (1741–1816); it took its text from a poem by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian (1755–1794), which appears in his novel Célestine.
The song was greatly successful in Martini's version. For example, a young woman, Madame Julie Charles, sang it to the poet Alphonse de Lamartine during his cure at Aix-les-Bains in 1816, and the poet was to recall it 30 years later.

Joseph Yulyevich Achron, also seen as Akhron (Russian: Иосиф Юльевич Ахрон, Hebrew: יוסף אחרון) (May 1, 1886 – April 29, 1943) was a Russian-born Jewish composer and violinist, who settled in the United States. His preoccupation with Jewish elements and his desire to develop a "Jewish" harmonic and contrapuntal idiom, underscored and informed much of his work. His friend, the composer Arnold Schoenberg, described Achron in his obituary as "one of the most underrated modern composers"

GLUCK MELODIE from ORFEO ed EURIDICE
"Dance of the Blessed Spirits" arr. Giovanni Sgambati
The Gluck Melodie, Dance of the Blessed Spirits from "Orfeo ed Euridice", is one of the most gorgeous melodies in all of opera. The transcription by Giovanni Sgambati is excellent and allows, as you will hear, for a wide range of interpretation. We have many different performances to compare, and many are excellent.
