A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

The Classical era.

on: May 14, 2011, 02:30:24 PM

Hi there.

A couple of weeks ago I finished the Liszt Consolation i D-flat. Now, I'd love a suggestion for a piece of the Classical era. I'd love some Schubert (whose piano Music I'm not very familiar with), but also Haydn, Mozart Beethoven and Clementi. Though Schubert would be best.

Cheers!!

I would highly suggest taking a look at his piano Sonata in A Major, the number which I forgot, sorry.

It was on the ABRSM Grade 8 exam pieces list a few years ago though. It is a lovely piece and I recommend it.

Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

There are MANY options among Mozart/Beethoven/Haydn, but for Schubert I would recommend the impromptu op. 142 no. 2 in A flat. Not too demanding and very beautiful

That's a pretty tough sonata... I would stay away from it for now. If you want a sonata, try D. 537 or D. 664 (the latter is harder, but more beautiful/better constructed in my opinion).
