Part 1, "Premonition," of Janáček's piano sonata entitled "1.X.1905" - one of his best known works. The sonata focuses on the element of death (Part 2 is actually called "Death"). The music reflects on the depression that Janáček was going through during that period, mainly because of the death of his daughter, Olga Janáček. The piece, however, specifically commemorates the death of František Pavlík, a Czech worker who was killed in a protest calling for a Czech university in Brno, the city where Janáček lived. The work can be classified as "typical" Janáček, mainly because of the extensive use of so-called "strange" harmonies. Janáček frequently tried to be "wrong" in his harmonies (although most of his works are clearly tonal) and used unpredictable progressions, mainly combinations of notes that sound foreign to the ear used to the music of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms... This "wrong" use is clearly heard in the sonata, which is why it can be called typical Janáček and atypical classical music.
See the notes to the second part for additional details.

Liszt's Fantasy and Fugue on the Theme B-A-C-H, written by Liszt as he was approaching 60 - still plenty bombastic but with an intellectual strain. The year was 1870, better known for Wagner's Valkyrie and Brahms's Alto Rhapsody.
Many composers have used the succession of notes corresponding to the letters in Bach's name (b-flat, a, c, and b natural), including Bach himself, Schumann, Brahms, Busoni, Schoenberg, Webern, Poulenc, Schnittke, Part, and others.
Recorded at the Conservatory of the Jerusalem Academy of Music.

Jeux d'eau (or Water Games) was inspired, in Ravel's words, by "the noise of water and by the musical sounds that make one hear the sprays of water, cascades, and brooks." The year is 1901 (which also saw Mahler's 4th Symphony, Debussy's "Nocturnes," and Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance"). The present performance was at the Eden-Tamir Music Center in Jerusalem.
