Chopin: Prelude Opus 28 No. 20 C Minor (funeral March)
Frederic Chopin
This Chopin prelude has the nickname, 'Funeral March', although it isn't the tune we associate with his piano sonata No. 2 third movement. However; this is strident and morose with its block chords in a minor key.

Chopin: Waltz Opus 64 No. 2 C Sharp Minor
Frederic Chopin
The start to this Chopin waltz is elegant and almost sedate. But then the contrast is shown by very fast sections that leave you whirling and spinning with delight.

Liszt: Liebestraum No. 1
Franz Liszt
The first of Liszt's Liebestraums, (Dreams of love), is a delicate and tender piece. Always light and very spacious it sets the tone for the three works as a whole. Wonderful for romantic segments, weddings and nostalgic memories.

Liszt: Liebestraum No. 2
Franz Liszt
A mood of intense yet subdued emotion marks the overall feeling of the second Liebestraum composed by Liszt. More dynamic than the first and third parts it shows a less confident side whilst still retaining its passion and sentimentality.
