J.-H.Fiocco: Eight Keyboard Pieces: Easier Piano Pieces 58
Born of an Italian family, Joseph-Hector Fiocco (1703-41) spent most of his working life in Brussels and Antwerp, where he was maître de chappelle at the cathedral. These attractive pieces have been selected from his only known harpsichord works, two suites of 12 movements each, and are typical of much Baroque keyboard music in their charm and tunefulness.

The instrumental ballad was a popular musical form in the 19th century and these four pieces for piano are Brahms’s only contribution to the genre. The composer wrote the ballades during the time of his close friendship with Clara Schumann, and they exude an intimacy more typical of a vocal ballad. The pieces, which Schumann enthusiastically praised, were described by Brahms as being “not too difficult to play and even less difficult to understand.”
