Étude Caractéristique Opus 2 No. 2 in D♭ Major

Uploaded on Sep 10, 2018

Étude Caractéristique Opus 2 No. 2 in D♭ Major (called “Pensez un peu à moi, qui pense toujours à vous!”) is the second Étude from the set “Douze Études Caractéristiques de Concert pour le Piano” by Adolf von Henselt. It was published in 1838, and was dedicated to King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

For this composition, the publisher G. Schirmer has also written that:
“In order to hold the eighth and quarter notes without straining the hand or wrist, swing these easily back and forth. Very small hands need only mark well the eighth and quarter notes; striving, however, to connect the notes of the melody in as legato a manner as possible. Let the right thumb always play softly.”

Music our grandmothers and their mothers loved . Awkard for the hands but it has many marvelous things (love when he gives the left hand the opening figure . Somthing very effeminate about a lot of 19th century piano music : as if they kne their market as women a home - many soon to be looking for husbands and needing to have the proper races and piano playing before the radio existed as a big thing . Can you imaginelife whe you only had music if you or others were around and had instruments at their disposal . We have it too easy . I hope we come up with sme new instruments. Many are coming to th fore everyday as any internet search quickly reveals . Oh heselt. I loved reading abput yu in HaroldSchnerg's book.I hope their is more information elsewhere . This is as gentle and episodic as the piece everyone even those wgo don't listen to classical music know. Look in any anthology of piano music publishd before 1960 and you will see If I were a bird . Si j''etais une oiseaux. He was an aristocratic man outlived Liszt but same age !anymore ! Ive heard the concerti.Total bores and uninteresting as are most romantic m( actually every era but different people find diffeent thngs in others. Alkan was hot when I was a kid then Satie had a big rejuvenation in the 1980's he was a lotlike John Cage given to humor and oriental philosophy and new perceptions. these Romantic composers! twee stuff to me ! I wonder if his ambition soared to sympnonies and quartets and piano trios and such . Arensky and a million others in that century Wrote them GOOD RIDDANCE !!! . I'd like to find a bio and read his letters .As we see here he had taste but hes no Rossini or Cherubini. Rather fey for an Germnic type .I wonder what he thougt of the bminor sonata .imagine what his concert programmes must habe been like.Thankgoodness those days are gone.circus acts and revues and light soirees then some flasy operatic fantasies .Oh well the rock mentality wil allways survive in all genres of musick! oh im a n old geezer.Oiseaux it just came ito me head.
