Piano Perfection: Three Must-Learn Pieces in the Key of C Major!

Piano Key A to G

Following last week’s show looking at the individual musical keys - their moods/colours, and specific composers’ preferences - I thought it followed neatly to begin a series examining a handful of classic pieces, in each Major and Minor pitch class. So, let’s start at the beginning: C Major. I’ve picked three essential compositions that I believe every budding pianist should know, and be able to perform well. Let’s take a brief listen, and then analyze some interesting features from within each score.

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast episode, which actually marks the half-year of the weekly show! You may [probably you will!] disagree with one or more of my choices - if so, please leave me a comment, either on YouTube, or the podcasting platform of your choice. Which three would you have chosen?
