Pianists competed with each other with their \"virtuosity\", which they honed by distinguishing their own personalities. The \"virtuoso art\" was not limited to technical brilliance, but also included a variety of \"tricks,\" such as a masterful storytelling style and a commitment to one's homeland, in order to win the hearts of the audience. An important tool for this was his own compositions and arrangements, utilizing his piano technique, which is his forte. Henselt, who wrote dainty and difficult pieces to be played with his peculiarly spacious hands; Friedman, who mass-produced elegant pieces decorated with prodigiously sweet harmony (op. 27-1 is a good example); Hofmann, whose delicate calligraphy shines through his thorough knowledge of the beauty of the piano (especially op. 40); and Franck, whose arrangement of the Violin Sonata for solo piano is a masterpiece of his own compositional style. Cortot's arrangement magic as exemplified by his arrangement of Franck's Violin Sonata for solo piano, and Palmgren's more than 300 piano works that warmly depict the cool Finnish sentiment. --Takuo Yoshiike (Supervisor), Naxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Piano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48017365008673,"sku":"4589538778774","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538778774.jpg?v=1706714350","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-de\/products\/4589538778774","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
