Beside it stand Liszt’s Liebestraum No. 3 and the concert study Gnomenreigen, Chopin’s Andante spianato and Grande polonaise brillante, Op. 22, and Beethoven’s gentle Piano Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 27 No. 1.

Artists

Robert Schumann
Robert Schumann (1810–1856) was a German composer and music critic of the early Romantic era. His piano works and songs remain among the most enduring of the period.

Kevin Kanisius Suherman
Kevin Kanisius Suherman was born on 17 December 1994 in Bandung, Indonesia. He began the piano at six, studying classical repertoire with Stephen Sulungan and pop and jazz with Bambang Nugroho, and in 2008 entered Melbourne Grammar School on a full music scholarship under Professor Max Cooke.

Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt (1811–1886) was a Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist, conductor and teacher of the Romantic era. His vast output reshaped piano technique, invented the symphonic poem and pushed harmony toward the twentieth century.

Frédéric Chopin
Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the early Romantic period. He wrote almost exclusively for the piano and remains one of its defining poetic voices.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and pianist whose music stands at the centre of the Western classical tradition, bridging the Classical and Romantic eras.
