Sonata in C minor K457 Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart (1756 - 1791)1811:10
        1st movement - Molto Allegro
Tim Kan, piano
Composed in 1784, this sonata was composed in the period of Mozart's life where he was a freelance artist in Vienna. Out of all his piano sonatas, this sonata is one of two sonatas composed in a minor key, which suggests that this perhaps may be one of Mozart's more personal pieces.
  
  
Ballade in F minor Op. 52Frederic Chopin (1810 - 1849)
       
Tim Kan, piano
Written in 1842, this ballade is commonly considered one of Chopin's masterpieces, and one of the masterpieces of 19th-century piano music. The Chopin ballades hold significance in the history of piano repertoire as Chopin was the first to experiment with the Ballade form. His ballades turned out to be so popular and successful that other composers such as Liszt and Brahms also produced Ballade works. The ballade form, although somewhat resembles parts of sonata form, is characterized by its narrative and story-telling nature.
