Piano trio - Piano trio A piano trio is a group of piano and two other instruments, almost always a violin and a cello, or a piece of music written for such a group. It is one of the most common forms found in classical chamber music. Traditionally, piano trios tend to be in the same overall form as a sonata, which can be roughly said to be as follows: First movement - a quick movement in sonata form Second movement - a slow movement Third movement - a minuet and trio or a scherzo in ternary form Fourth movement - another quick movement, often in rondo form or sonata-rondo form However, many variations on this form exist, and there are piano trios which bear no resemblance to this.

Trio - Trio Generally speaking, a trio or threesome is a group of three. The word is most often used in music to refer to a group of three musicians. For example, a group of three singers would be called a trio. The word is also used in chamber music to mean a grouping of three instrumentalists or any piece written for such a grouping. The most common forms of trio in classical music are the piano trio (piano, violin and cello) and the string trio (violin, viola and cello). Another use of the word in music is to refer to the middle, contrasting section of a piece in ternary form. This usage gives rise to the "minuet and trio" (or the "scherzo and trio") which often appears.
Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) - Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) Ludwig van Beethoven's opus 27 no. 2 is the Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Like a fantasy), popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata. Beethoven wrote this sonata in 1801 and dedicated it to the 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom he was (or, according to some accounts, had been) in love. In 1832, several years after Beethoven's death, the poet Ludwig Rellstab compared the music to moonlight shining on Lake Lucerne. Since then, it has been known as the Moonlight Sonata. The Sonata has three movements: Adagio sostenuto (attacca), Allegretto and Presto agitato The first movement, written in a kind of truncated sonata form, is the most well known. Its powerful, haunting and quiet.
Piano Sonata No. 11 (Mozart) - Piano Sonata No. 11 (Mozart) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 is in three movements: Andante grazioso - a theme with six variations Menuetto - a minuet and trio Rondo alla Turca: Allegretto The last movement, a rondo, is often heard on its own, and is one of the most well known of all Mozart's works. It imitates the drums and melodies of Turkish Janissary bands, the music of which was so in vogue at that time. Various other works of the time imitate the music, including Mozart's own opera The Abduction from the Seraglio. It is not known for certain exactly where and when Mozart composed the sonata - in Vienna or Salzburg in around 1783 is currently thought.
Piano quartet - Piano quartet A piano quartet is a musical ensemble consisting of a piano and three other instruments, or a piece written for such a group. In classical music, those other instruments are usually a piano trio, that is a violin, viola and cello. Piano quartets for that standard lineup were written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Antonin Dvorak and Gabriel Fauré among others. In the 20th century, composers have written for more varied groups, with Anton Webern's Quartet, opus 22 (1930), for example, being for piano, violin, clarinet and tenor saxophone, and Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps (1940) for piano, violin, cello and clarinet..
Jack Bruce - is a musician (bass guitar, cello and occasional piano), singer and songwriter. He first came to attention playing string bass with Graham Bond in the early 1960s. That group covered a range of music, from bebop to rhythm and blues, and blues. It included Ginger Baker. He played with the John Mayall group and Manfred Mann before moving on to his most famous role as bass player in the power trio (some would say the first "supergroup") Cream. He wrote the most of Cream's original material, with lyricist Pete Brown. Jack's playing was clearly based on his classical training and he is reputed to have said that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the greatest bass-lines ever. In the early days of Cream, Jack played a Fender VI (6 string) bass whose narrow.
Jacques Thibaud - rebuild his technique. In 1943 he established the Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud International Competition, a competition for violinists and pianists with Marguerite Long. As well as a soloist, Thibaud was noted for his performances of chamber music, particularly as part of a piano trio with the pianist Alfred Cortot and cellist Pablo Casals. He was a friend of Eugčne Ysa˙e who dedicated his second sonata for solo violin to him. Thibaud was killed in an air crash on Mont Cemet. His Stradivarius violin was also destroyed..
Jeff Beck - 1966, partly because of failing health, after a brief dual-lead guitar role with Jimmy Page, who had recently joined. In 1967, he formed a new band named the Jeff Beck Group, which featured him on lead guitar as well as Rod Stewart on vocals, Ron Wood on bass, Mick Waller on drums, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. The group produced two albums, Truth in 1968 and Cosa Nostra Beck-Ola the following year, both of which helped lay templates for the heavy metal music that would emerge a few years later. Nonetheless, friction emerged between the members of the Jeff Beck Group and, in 1971, Stewart and Wood left to join The Faces and later to pursue Stewart's solo efforts. Wood joined The Rolling Stones around 1973. After the failure of a.
Jimmy Durante - he frequently made jokes about, which earned him the nickname Schnozzola. Jimmy Durante was born New York City. He dropped out of school in eighth-grade to play ragtime piano. In his youth Durante worked as pianist and entertainer in New York city, nickmaned "Ragtime Jimmy". About 1917 he joined one of the first jazz bands in New York, The Original New Orleans Jazz Band (all other musicians were from New Orleans). Durante's outgoing personality and ability to "sell" a number to the audience started attracting greater attention, and by 1920 the band was renamed Jimmy Durante's Jazz Band. In the mid 1920s he became a star on Vaudeville and radio with his music & comedy trio Clayton Jackson & Durante (with Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson); despite third billing Durante was.
Joseph Haydn - singer in the Eszterházy establishment with whom he carried on a long-term love affair. During the nearly thirty years that Haydn worked in the Eszterházy household, he produced a flood of compositions, and his musical style became ever more developed. His popularity in the outside world also increased. Gradually, Haydn came to write as much for publication as for his employer, and several important works of this period, such as the Paris symphonies (1785-6) and the original orchestral version of The Seven Last Words of Christ (1786), were commissions from abroad. Around 1781 Haydn established a close friendship with Mozart, whose work he had already been influencing by example for many years. The two composers enjoyed playing in string quartets together. Haydn was hugely impressed with Mozart's work; it is probably.
Johnnie Johnson - is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member piano player and blues musician. He was a session musician for many notable artists, including Chuck Berry, who joined Johnson's band, The Sir John Trio in 1953..

Ike Turner - 5, 1931, in Clarksdale, Mississippi. American musician (piano, guitar), bandleader, talent scout and record producer. Member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Turner's musical career began with his childhood piano teacher Pinetop Perkins who taught him the boogie-woogie that he later transformed into early rock and roll. Turner's 1949 recording of "Rocket 88" is considered one of the earliest examples of simple rock and roll with a driving back beat and topped with electric guitar and wailing saxophone. It was a sharp contrast from the relatively more jazzy and sophisticated jump band or swing combo music that preceded it. The record was released under the name of Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats, but was actually performed by Ike Turner and His Kings of Rhythm. Through music-business intrigue, Brenston,.
Heitor Villa-Lobos - New York to Paris. In spite of his world travels, his home was always in Rio de Janeiro. There he died. Major Works Villa-Lobos was notoriously prolific, though he probably himself exaggerated the number of works he wrote. Many works are arrangements of earlier pieces. Especially in his final years, Villa-Lobos did a lot of re-composing. The works below represent his musical legacy. Except for the lost works they are well represented on the world's recital and concert stages and on CD. Exceptions include the Nonetto and the operas. Even the Symphonies are now available in an integral recording on the cpo label - see http://www.rdpl.org/villa/stuttgart.html. Villa-Lobos' most popular work is the 5th Bachianas Brasileiras, written for voice and a eight cellos, but performed in many other instrumental combinations. Close runner-ups.
Genesis (band) - lead singers — "We got quite a lot of weirdos, because of Peter and his costumes," Rutherford recalled in an interview — Genesis settled on using their drummer, Phil Collins, changing from a quintet to a quartet. Bill Bruford joined the band on tour in 1976 as drummer; later, the jazz fusion-trained Chester Thompson, a veteran of Weather Report and Frank Zappa, would take over live drumming duties, leaving Collins to step into the spotlight. When Steve Hackett left in 1977, Mike Rutherford took over his guitar duties, and now the group was a trio (Collins, Banks, Rutherford), a fact reflected in the title of their 1978 album ...And Then There Were Three. This album ushered in yet another change in Genesis' musical direction, to shorter, more singles-oriented tracks and away.
Gilbert Bécaud - hit after being translated into "What Now My Love". Born in Toulon, Becaud learned to play the piano at a young age, and then went to the Conservatoire de Nice. In 1942, he left school to join the French Resistance during World War 2. He began songwriting in 1948, after meeting Maurice Vidalin, who inspired him to write his early compositions. He began writing for Marie Bizet; Bizet, Becaud and Vidalin became an extremely successful trio, and their partnership lasted until 1950. While touring with Jacques Pills as a pianist, Becaud met Edith Piaf, whom he soon married. He began singing at his wife's suggestion in 1953, with "Mes mains" and "Les croix". His first performance came the year after, and by 1955 he had earned his reputation as the most.
