Piano Classics
What makes a piece a highlight, a classic within the repertoire? A few things: the work must not become outdated, the performance must not be rigidly fixed, the piece must transcend fashionable trends, and it must be extremely well-known. Julius Asal's program, in which minor keys predominate, is brimming with them: Schubert's Impromptu, Chopin's Etude, Busoni's reinterpretation of Bach—they are all peaks of piano literature.
