This fugue by Brahms from his epic variation set on a theme by Handel is hands down one of the greatest things ever composed. In this video I'll walk you through the best parts of the fugue, talk about what makes it special, and hopefully help you make more sense of the piece.

Pastoral sonata is one of my favorites, and right behind the 1st movement is the 2nd. I love so much about it and in this video we'll focus on texture, chords, and of course jazz. To be fair, you could say Op. 14, No. 2 is an earlier jazzy sonata, depending on your tastes...but either way check out this awesome sonata! www.patreon.com/c/RyanAbshier #music #classicalpiano #beethoven #howtoplaypi...

Oh the great and famous Mozart K. 545, Sonata in C Major. This sonata not has a super catchy melody that is played by many pianists around the world, but it's also a lot deeper compositionally than you might realize. We often think of it as a completely "normal" sonata, but it's very much not that. Hope you enjoy the journey through the 1st movement! Patreon page here: www.patreon.com/c/RyanAbs...

We tend to think Chopin just showed up out of nowhere, playing the most amazing piano style. But today we're looking at John Field, an extremely innovative pianists whose music was far ahead of his time and seems to have some influence on Chopin.

I am going through and ranking the most popular music genres. As a classical musician we get accused of not liking any other music, so let's see if that's really true. I used a premade tierlist from tiermaker.com, so the exact inclusion and exclusion of certain genres is not completely in my control (I try to be clear about how I'm ranking in the video).
