Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata 2nd Movement
Ludwig van Beethoven
The second movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is a contrast to the first movement. This movement is positive, playful and joyful but yet subdued. Lovely light melodies allow the piece to flow along nicely. Piano Sonata No. 14 Opus 27 No. 2.

Chopin: Nocturne Opus 15 No. 2 F Sharp Major
Frederic Chopin
A tender start to this lovely piano solo. The middle section rises with increasing emotion before settling down with the piece ending very much as it had started in a calm and peaceful way.

Satie: Gnossienne No. 1
Erik Satie
Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.

Satie: Gnossienne No. 2
Erik Satie
The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec étonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.

Debussy: Arabesque No. 2
Claude Debussy
The second on Debussy's Arabesques is faster, brighter and more lively.

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.

Satie: Je Te Veux
Erik Satie
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.

Tempo
Slow
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.

Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 11 A Major Kv331 - 2nd Movement
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
A bold introduction disguises the delicate melodies of this menuetto. Punctuated by light, dancing themes, this is a positive and confident second movement to Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11.

Romance For Guitar (romanza)
Traditional
This is such a well known and popular guitar solo that it is remarkable that the composer is unknown. A positive Spanish feel to this track full of passion, love and affection.

Chopin: Waltz Opus 69 No. 2 B Minor
Frederic Chopin
The minor key of this waltz gives the piece a melancholic, almost sad feel. The soloist plays at a medium tempo without straying too far from the initial melody, then a more optimistic section lifts the gloom before it returns to melancholy to finish.
Standard License
Chopin: Berceuse Opus 57 D Flat Major
Frederic Chopin
Delicate lullaby for piano written by Chopin as variations on a theme. It showcases the inventiveness of the composer as ideas evolve. Lose yourself in this sweet and mellow composition.
