Op.23: No.5 in Sol (G) Minor, Alla Marcia This Op, is divided in ternary form, the first section “A”, is called Alla Marcia because of all the sixteenth-note chords, the second part is called Un Poco Meno Mosso, and there are more arpeggios especially for the left hand, and then it go back to Alla Marcia. -1,30 part B with PP min, In the beginning part, A min there is a resolution creates a transition another transition and then start Alla Marcia it starts slowing down and get to the pp final.

Prelude in C Sharp Minor Op No 3 He played this for the first time in the Moscow Electrical Exhibition, which was his debut as a pianist. o 0.6 min it starts with a fff and then Pesante. o 0.15, there is a pause, and then it starts again on 0.19 min with a piano (p). o 0.37 min where only the left hand needs to be forte and the right piano. o 1.46 min there is a transition that starts, it goes in crescendo with the notes and the pitch. o 2.20 min there is a decrescendo. o At 2.31, there is a pause followed by ff and then it starts with the prelude o 3.38, there is a pause and some melody and theme changes and it’s more calm and piano till the end that you can barely hear like the first prelude.

Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor, Op.18 : I. Moderato. This was composed between autumn 1900 and spring This Concerto was a statement that after years of depression he was finally cured and fine. o 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B ♭ (I mov.) and A (II & III mov.), 2 bassoons, 4 horns in F, 2 trumpets in B ♭, 3 trombones (2 tenor, 1 bass), tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, solo piano, and strings. It is written in three-movement concerto form. o The Russian element is definitely present in this first part. Both themes change the keys very often and leave space to some instrument to get into the concerto while the other are preparing the other theme. o When the orchestra plays the first theme, the piano plays the theme with some adjustments, and the orchestra become an accompaniment. o From here the last minute of the movement are placid until drawn into the agitated coda, and the movement ends in C minor fortissimo.

o The 1st theme starts at 0.26 min, and at 1.13 there are the horns. o 1,35 min the piano starts the theme again, and it’s not used as accompaniment anymore. o 1.51 min starts un poco piu mosso, leaded by the piano and at 1.56 there is a change in the theme. o 2.05 min they are starting the 2nd theme, and the piano is playing the theme and also the arches, they alternate themes. o 3.45 min the oboe and clarinets play their theme o 4,04 min the arches are playing the accompaniment like the piano. o 4.18 starts a poco mosso initially leaded by the piano and then the arches took over. o 4.43 min starts a moto precedente, that recover the first theme, and at 5.03 start a piu vivo mostly leaded by the piano and oboes. That follows there is a poco a poco accelerato. o 7.19 there is a poco calando, so there is a decrescendo slowly with a mezzo forte. o At 8.47, there are the arches that with the piano are playing a different version of the main theme. o 9.41 starts a meno mosso, and at 9.56 min start a little more accelerando. o There is a little more crescendo for the final.
