Alexandre Goria: Caprice Nocturne, Op. 6

This piece was one of the first pieces I uploaded back in very early days of the channel. The performance from January 2018 you can see here: The Parisian pianist and composer AlexandreÉdouard Goria (18231860) studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Pierre Zimmerman, teacher of Alkan and Franck and later wrote salon pieces and studies (his bestknown work was his Op. 7 concert study). He was a friend of Louis Moreau Therefore, Alexandre was around 24 years old, when he wrote this piece. Personally, I really like the chromatic, subtle theme in F minor and the almost Liszt type agitato near the end. I have now played a couple of pieces from Goria and it s always a hit for me and never a miss. I like his style of composing a lot. It s very characteristic and romantic of course A method to find scores: My donation link to keep the channel growing: Thanks for listening :)
