Ravel (1875-1937)Valses nobles et sentimentales, M. 61

Liszt (1811-1886) Mephisto Waltz No.1, S. 514

About the program

Piano Sonata in E-flat Major, Hob.XVI: 52 is the last of Haydn's sonatas and often referred to as his greatest work. Lively and rhymically strong, it was dedicated to Therese Jansen, a London-based pianist for whom he wrote three sonatas.

Four Etudes, Op. 2 was written by Prokofiev when he was 18 while living at his family home in Sontsovka, Ukraine. Featuring jazzy rhythms and harmonies, the piece was designed to show off the young composer's technical ability.

A suite of waltzes composed by Maurice Ravel, Valses nobles et sentimentales, M. 61 was published in 1911 and included the following quote from French poet Henri de Regnier: "le plaisir delicieux et toujours nouveau d'une occupation inutile" (the delicious and forever-new pleasure of a useless occupation).

Beethoven composed Fantasia for Piano, Op. 77, which fluctuates between sweet and somber, during Napoleon's invasion and the occupation of Vienna. Discussing that time, he wrote: "We have passed through a great deal of misery. . . . Since May 4th, I have brought into the world little that is connected; only here and there a fragment. The whole course of events has affected me body and soul."

In a program note for Mephisto Waltz No.1, S. 514, Liszt envisioned wild dancing and a wedding feast occuring at a village inn. "Sounds of the fiddle grow softer and softer, and the nightingale warbles his love-laden song," the composer wrote.
