Beethoven has. He popped the question to one of his piano students, Therese Malfatti, in 1810, but she completely blew him out for Wilhelm von Drossdik. Beethoven’s response? Articulate that sense of rejection and longing in one of the most famous piano works ever.    Fur Elise Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Solo   Probably one of the most recognized piano pieces, Für Elise is newly engraved and edited in its' entirety. Students always love to play this beautiful piece, so providing the most musically accurate version is particularly important in any piano studio. BUY NOW     Just listen to the opening cello melody here. If it doesn’t make you want to collapse on the floor and do some serious nose-goop crying, then you’ve got nothing inside your heart. Brahms wrote it a few months after meeting Robert and Clara Schumann, but like a total third wheel Brahms became obsessed with Clara and couldn’t keep quiet about it.   Piano Trio, Op. 8 Johannes Brahms Cello   Originally composed in 1854 when the composer was only 20 years old, Brahms made a substantial revision to the Piano Trio No. 1 Op. 8 in 1889. This edition is of the later revision of the work. Contains Piano Score and Instrumental Parts. BUY NOW     When Hector Berlioz fell in love with Irish actress Harriet Smithson, he wrote her a series of impassioned letters to express his feelings. She didn’t answer any of them, so he instead wrote an entire symphony to show her just how he felt. He also took a whole bunch of opium to try and take his mind off it, but that’s not recommended.   Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14 Edition Eulenburg No. 422 Hector Berlioz None   Symphonie fantastique became the cornerstone of an entire tradition of musical composition in which figurative and literary ideas had a stimulating effect on the instrumental and orchestral music and even had a profound influence on the development of the opera. BUY NOW     Rachmaninov spent most of his life happily married. Odd choice for this list, no? Well, just because he was basically fine in the love stakes, it doesn’t mean he didn’t know how to write perhaps the ultimate classical break-up piece. Listen to that melody - familiar? OF COURSE IT IS, it’s Eric Carmen’s ‘All By Myself’! Without even knowing it, Sergei made audible the despair particular to anyone going through the suckiest of break-ups. Cheers, you emotional brute.   Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18 2 Pianos, 4 Hands Sergei Rachmaninoff 2 Pianos, 4-Hands   Rachmaninoff's legendary Opus 18, often lovingly referred to as "Rach 2," is for many the epitome of the Romantic piano concerto. Following its acclaimed premiere in Moscow in 1901, it proved to be a show-stopper around the globe, finally helping cement Rachmaninoff's international reputation as a composer. To this day, the concerto's enchanting themes and elegiac melodies in the strings are considered the trademark of Rachmaninoff, indeed, of Russian music in general. For the first Urtext edition of this pivotal work, we were able to examine the original autograph score in Moscow's Glinka Museum. Rachmaninoff's own sound recordings were also consulted. The newly prepared piano reduction ensures good playability; it accords exactly with the also newly edited orchestral score and parts.
