The Davidsbündlertänze embodies the full spectrum of human emotion - despair, anxiety, sorrow, triumph, bliss, or pure love, to name a few... Another fascinating element in this program is the motivic and harmonic threads which connect the smaller pieces into a cohesive whole. Recently, I've developed a great obsession with learning how to weave musical moments into a single overarching architectural narrative. This program offers a different challenge - giving space for each musical moment to be it's own distinct individual voice, while also still maintaining the narrative arc...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Arabeske in C Major, Op. 18 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 1, Lebhaft \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 2, Innig \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 3, Mit Humor \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 4, Ungeduldig \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 5, Einfach \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 6, Sehr rasch \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 7, Nicht schnell \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 8, Frisch \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft I: No. 9, Lebhaft \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6, Heft II: No. 10, Balladenmäßig.
