| sebben crudele | Antonio Caldara (1670 - 1736) | ||
| Yujia Du, Voice | |||
| "Sebben, crudele" is an aria from Antonio Caldara's 1710 opera, La costanza in amor vince l'inganno (Faithfulness in love conquers treachery). It comes from the third scene of the opera's first act, and is sung by the character Aminta, a nobleman whose wife is unfaithful. | |||

| Étude Op. 10 No. 6 | Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849) | 5 | 11:35 |
| Jonathan Mouskis-Morrison, Piano | |||
| One of Chopin’s few slow-tempo études, this beautifully romantic and lyrical work focuses on expressivity and chromatic structuring of the melody, as well as polyphonic texture. The key of E flat minor gives the piece a sense of malaise, while a brief key change to E major in the middle section provides the listener a glimmer of hope, which doesn’t occur again until the very last major resolution chord in the final bar. | |||
| Étude Op. 91, No. 16 | Moritz Moszkowski (1854 - 1925) | ||
| Jonathan Mouskis-Morrison, Piano | |||
| This lively and energetic work features rapid unison arpeggios, spaced an octave apart throughout the entirety of the piece, while also featuring very effective dynamic contrasts. Eerie and ghostly, one ponders if the composer possibly drew inspiration from the final movement of Chopin’s Sonata in B Flat Minor, Op. 35 | |||
