| Etude Op. 10 No. 4 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Torrent.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' | Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849) |
| Zitong Ren, Piano | |
| In C# minor, this etude largely consists of semiquaver passages that alternate between the two hands. | |
| Sonata K. 427 in G Major | Domenico Scarlatti (1685 - 1757) |
| Zitong Ren, Piano | |
| This is a fun, light, and playful sonata. | |
| HWV 434 | George Frideric Handel (1685 - 1759) |
| I.Prelude, II. Sonata, III. Aria con Variazioni, IV. Mente | |

| Sonata in D major, K311 | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) |
| I. Allegro con spirito II. Andantino con espressione III. Rondeau | |
| Jay Brendan Del Rosario, Piano | |
| Mozart's K311 displays many of the archetypal elements one would expect of his piano sonatas - a major tonality and a light, jubilant, yet sensitive character. | |
| In Dahomey: Cakewalk Smasher | Percy Grainger (1882 - 1961) |
| Jay Brendan Del Rosario, Piano | |
| Grainger leaves a mixed legacy - his eccentricities and political standpoints are preserved in the unique presentations of his compositions. Nonetheless, his 'Cakewalk Smasher' is a comedic, and in many ways sarcastic, exploration of non-Western musical traditions of the time. | |
| Prelude and Fugue C# Major book 2 | J.S. Bach (1685 - 1750) |
| Catherine Zhu, Piano | |
| It was originally written in C Major. | |

| Catherine Zhu, Piano | |
| This Etude features many jumps in the left hand and octaves in the right hand. | |

| The Lark | Mikhail Glinka (1837 - 1910) |
| Arranged by Mily Balakirev | |
| Suki Gui, Piano | |
| "The Lark" is one of the most popular Russian songs of the Romantic era, composed by the founder of the Russian nationalist school, Mikhail Glinka. His fellow countryman, Mili Balakirev, took this simple, melancholy air as the basis for a highly virtuosic piano transcription a la Liszt. | |
| Transcendental Etude No.6 Vision | Franz Liszt (1811 - 1886) |
| Suki Gui, Piano | |
| Transcendental Étude No. 6 in G minor, "Vision" is the sixth of twelve Transcendental Études by Franz Liszt. | |

| Lydia Liu, Piano | |
| Etude-Tableaux Op.33 No.4 in D minor | Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) |
| Christina Wong, Piano | |
| Moderato in D minor (published posthumously, originally No. 5) This study is similar to the Prelude op. 23 No. 3 composed by Rachmaninoff in 1903, both in tone and character. It is a simple march that grows into a thing of striking contrapuntal complexity. | |
| Le Grand Tango | Astor Piazzolla (1921 - 1992) |
| Sean Neylan, Piano | |
| Sean Neylan (Piano), Racheal Zhou (Piano) | |
| Originally composed for cello and piano, the work expresses the spirit of nuevo tango (“new tango”), a melding of traditional tango rhythms and jazz-inspired syncopation. | |
| Etude op.8 no. 5 | Alexander Scriabin (1872 - 1915) |
| Maria Francesca Cascino , Piano | |
| - | |

| Inspired by his travels through Switzerland and Italy, Franz Liszt penned the first two suites of his Années de pèlerinage (“Years of Pilgrimage”) between the late 1830s and 1850s. | |
