Iradier: La Paloma
Sebastian Iradier
A solo guitar piece with hugely Hispanic and Latin overtones. This habanera, (or dance of Havana), has a wonderful swaying theme which transports you to exotic places and bars. Great for travel sequences.

A lilting melody above a waltz like accompaniment gets more complex and intense as we're taken on an emotional journey.

Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement
Ludwig van Beethoven
A fast, dramatic and energetic end to the famous Moonlight Sonata, presto agitato - which means fast, in a hurry and agitated. The pianist gives a fantastic rendition of this high tempo work. Piano Sonata No. 14 Opus 27 No. 2.

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.

A classical guitar study that is subtle, calm yet emotional and thought provoking. A simple melody is accompanied by a repetitive arpeggio which moves the piece along at a constant pace.

Satie: Je Te Veux

A waltz for solo piano which conjures up images of Paris and popular song around 1900. The title translates into, 'I Want You', and reflects the sentimental nature of the track. A wonderful backdrop for European productions.

Bach: Bourree In E Minor Bwv 996
Johann Sebastian Bach
A typical baroque style piece. This was originally written by J. S. Bach as one of the movements in a suite composed for the lute. Popular with classical guitarists, it has a very rhythmical, almost march-like feel.

Chopin: Nocturne Opus 15 No. 2 F Sharp Major

Chopin: Nocturne Opus 27 No. 2 D Flat Major
Frederic Chopin
Beautiful melodies glide with effortless grace at the start of this famous Chopin piano solo. It becomes more intense before a soft ending.

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.

Grieg: Arietta Opus 12 No. 1
Edvard Grieg
Delicate and tender, this beautiful track conveys a longing hopefulness with a slight melancholic tinge. Slow and graceful, this was the very first work in the 'Lyric Pieces' first book by Grieg who regarded it as one of his finest melodies.
