Alexandre Goria: Caprice-Nocturne, Op.6

This piece was one of the first pieces I uploaded back in very early days of the channel. The performance from January 2018 you can see here: “The Parisian pianist and composer Alexandre-Édouard Goria (1823-1860) studied at the Paris Conservatoire - with Pierre Zimmerman, teacher of Alkan and Franck - and later wrote salon pieces and studies (his best-known work was his Op. 7 concert study). He was a friend of Louis Moreau Gottschalk.“ Therefore, Alexandre was around 24 years old, when he wrote this piece. Personally, I really like the chromatic, subtle theme in F minor and the almost Liszt type agitato near the end. --- I have now played a couple of pieces from Goria and it’s always a hit for me and never a miss. I like his style of composing a lot. It’s very characteristic and romantic of course -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - A method to find scores: - My donation link to keep the channel growing: Thanks for listening :-)
