June
Tchaikovsky op 37, the seasons — June: it is a beautiful piece, like the summer streams in the mountains. I have caught it a couple of times while listening to Pandora, so I have to play it. Tchaikovsky is my favorite and his music is emotional but not those small whiny emotions; he can create music splendid like fireworks. (Bach is then my another favorite, he explores the limit of your logic thinking and I often fail :D)
Behind the scene, it is a fun one that exercises your fingers fully. It is g minor but with sharps and flats instead of regular cords. A lot of measures need three or four fingers down spanning the entire octave, and need paddle to make legato. There is also a section called arpeggiando/arpeggiato[It.]. The interesting thing about this technique is that it connects to bowing in the string instruments (a bouncing stoke played on broken chords in such a way that successive bounces fall on different strings). Guzheng, a Chinese instrument also uses a similar expression. My left hand is so clumsy that I have been stuck in this section for a while now, so today you only can hear 1.5 pages of June instead of 5 pages 🙂
