Sandro Russo:
"Whether or not Liszt may have conceived the 12 Transcendental Etudes to be performed as a cycle, their programmatic elements…could give one almost the sense of an entire opera's being performed at the piano!" writes Sandro Russo. He undertook this epic project with some doubt; according to Russo the etudes often work better live – feeding from the energy of the audience and the performers’ adrenaline.

Jonathan Biss:
Starting in 2015, Jonathan Biss and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra have commissioned five composers to write a piano concerto in response to one of Beethoven's. In Brett Dean's A Winter's Journey, the piano soloist begins the piece from within the orchestra, seated at an upright piano with super sordino (or practice pedal). This muffled, indistinct sound may be seen as a metaphor for Beethoven’s worsening deafness.
