My hardest pieces are Prelude in G minor by Rachmaninoff, and like the opening few pages of un sospiro, waltx op 64 no 2. My exams end in June so I have like 3 months off before uni, do you reckon i could learn the first movement of the Grieg?

Hi everyone,

I recently made a website called Concert Atlas: www.concertatlas.app

It’s basically a search engine for classical music concerts. Instead of checking a bunch of orchestra websites one by one, you can search by composer, piece, orchestra, city, country, or date and see where works are being performed.

For example, if you want to know where Mahler 2, Rachmaninoff 3, or Mozart’s Requiem is playing next, you can just search for it and find upcoming performances.

Right now it has almost 2,000 upcoming events indexed. It’s mostly focused on the US at the moment, but it does include listings from multiple countries and can expand to more regions over time.

It’s still in an early state, but the main features are in place now, including saved concerts, saved searches, and notifications when new concerts match your interests.

I originally built this because I wanted something like this for myself. I often found myself checking individual orchestra websites just to see who was programming pieces I cared about, and it felt like there should be an easier way to search by repertoire.

The website is: www.concertatlas.app

I also made an Instagram account at concertatlasdev where people can DM me feedback or follow updates.

Would love to hear any thoughts, feature requests, or suggestions, especially from people who regularly go to classical concerts.

Taken from a performance at Holy Trinity, Kendal Parish Church, Cumbria/Lake District. One my favourite Beethoven sonatas and in fact the first time I performed it live.

What would you name this piece? What do you think about it?

I'm looking to enter the composition/music theory program at mdw, and in the official 'Information on Entrance Examinations' PDF, it says I am to play a 'piece of the standard of a moderately difficult Viennese Classical sonata'.

What pieces are they specifically referring to? Does Beethoven's 15th Piano Sonata (Pastorale) count as such?

If you were to say which Hamelin piano piece performance was the most iconic, the most significant, the most important he should be remembered for…. Which should it be? I’m interested in buying a signed CD of his most important recording. My son says Busoni pieces. What do you say?
