Karol Szymanowski - Violin Concerto No. 1
The eighteen-month period from March 1881 to October 1882 saw the birth of three creative giants in Eastern Europe: Béla Bartók in Hungary, Igor Stravinsky in Russia, and Karol Szymanowski in Poland, who, though less renowned, deserves to be mentioned in the same breath. Karol Szymanowski – Violin Concerto No. 1 Karol Szymanowski should rank high on anyone's list of unjustly neglected composers. He started out writing Chopinesque piano...

Elementals – Dave Brubeck In Memoriam
David Warren Brubeck, composer and pianist, born 6 December 1920; died 5 December 2012. All his life, Brubeck continued to regard himself as "a composer who plays the piano".
