Classical music recommendations? 😊

Chopin nocturnes for sure - I love op 48 no 1, op 48 no 2, op 9 no 1, op 72 no 1, op 37 no 2 and op 27 no 1. I also love rachmaninoff's piano concertos, his piece Vocalise (especially with piano and cello) and his preludes. I don't listen to classical and baroque as much but i know Beethoven sonatas are good (the piano/violin duets for those are great too) as well as mozart sonatas (like the one in c minor). There are so many composers I love but you can at least start with this and I'm sure you'll discover more as you go!

Making Steinway 

Architectural photographer Christopher Payne likes to investigate industrial settings and explore overlooked manufacturing processes. His newest collection, Making Steinway: An American Workplace, features a series of compositions collected on a visit to the Steinway & Sons piano factory in Astoria, New York.

Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 in Manhattan, New York, and has made pianos since. Payne explains: “After spending countless hours photographing the choreographies of production and scrutinizing the parts and pieces that will never be visible outside the factory, I came to realize that a piano is one of the supreme acts of human invention and imagination.”
