Winter/Snow inspired pieces
on: December 06, 2011, 06:53:09 PM
Now we are just into winter, is there any piano pieces inspired by the snow or the season.

I am familiar with Debussy's Footprints in the snow and Chopin's Winter wind Etude, i was wondering if there are any more??

Thanks. i like the Corigliano, never heard it before.

Lugansky playing the Liszt is amazing, one of my favorites.

I was really looking for something that sounds "cold". I know it seems ridiculous to say that and you probably think im being picky.  ;D

Maybe something serene? Poignant? Isolated? If you get me...

Debussy's "Snow is dancing" from Children's Corner perhaps?

Some cold winters in Russia!

debussy: the snow is dancing, from children's corner.
it's easy enough, I played it a year ago but it's very nice and gives the idea of the snow

Rachmaninov Etude-Tableau in D minor Op 33, No 4. Not specifically a winter piece but it has a distinctly 'icy' sound to it. Always reminds me of winter anyway!
