About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Despite his present-day obscurity, during his lifetime Leopold Kozeluch was held in just as high esteem as his contemporaries C.P.E. Bach, Haydn and Beethoven, with some accounts praising him as a more proficient musician than Mozart. At last his music is beginning to attract modern attention, with a large number of scholarly articles and editions having been published in recent years. This is the first in a new series presenting his keyboard sonatas in full, works which are without doubt the most interesting facet of his output. Kozeluch wrote over 50 sonatas, the first eight of which are presented here. A composer very much of the Classical tradition, he employs all of the devices typical of this period - broken-chord accompaniments, tremolos, repeated notes and expressive chromaticism - to create a variety of works that are noteworthy for their subtly different emotional shadings and sheer beauty of melodic material, albeit with a deceptively simple quality that makes them all the more memorable. This recording uses a fortepiano, carefully modelled after a 1795 instrument from Vienna that Kozeluch himself could well have played on, which allows for a highly authentic listening experience. Indeed, Kozeluch was a champion of the fortepiano, and these works effectively detail the pioneering compositional style that was permeating keyboard music in Vienna at the time, a style whose development Kozeluch played such an important role in. An international artist who regularly performs music ranging from Bach to Schoenberg in major venues across Europe, Asia and North America, Jenny Soonjin Kim is also a faculty member at Claremont Graduate University in California (the venue for this recording), where she teaches piano and fortepiano. It is her keen interest in scholarship - particularly historical performance practice - that led to her discovery of Kozeluch; as a speci

Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.
