确定, a big symphony brings chills, but what's more exciting than watching a pianist storm through the climax of one of those mighty Russian concertos? Those late-19th century keyboard monsters define dazzling virtuosity in their big moments, 和 make us swoon with those dreamy, 月光下的慢动作. That genre is best represented by Rachmaninoff's beloved Second Concerto—which serves as the exciting concert finale for this fast-moving course that follows the colorful history of the piano concerto. Popular DU instructor Marc Shulgold begins with Bach 和 his experimental works for harpsichord (singular 和 plural), then moves to the man who would define the genre: Mozart. Discover how one of Bach's sons planted the seed for the boy to write keyboard concertos as a homework assignment when the Mozart family visited London. 下一个, explore all the big guys: Beethoven, 肖邦, 舒曼, 门德尔松, 李斯特, 布拉姆斯, 格里格, 柴可夫斯基, Saint-Saëns 和 on to the 20th century with Bartók, 肖斯塔科维奇, 普罗科菲耶夫, 格什温, 拉威尔, 布里顿, 科普兰及其他地区. Watch videos of some of the greatest pianists past 和 present, compare performers 和 then cast votes on your favorites. 最后, it's time for Rachmaninoff, whose revered Second is played live in concert by Simon Trpčeski with the 科罗拉多州的交响曲——加上第一号交响曲. 7 .马勒.
