{"product_id":"benedict-piano-works","title":"Benedict: Piano Works","description":"Julius Benedict studied with Hummel and Weber, beginning as a virtuoso pianist and then becoming a conductor and operatic composer. In 1835 he moved to England where he spent the next 50 years as a much-admired composer, teacher and writer. His most famous work is the opera The Lily of Killarney but the music for his own instrument displays a precocious talent. This is most evident in the Piano Sonata No. 1 in E major, where novelty and beguiling modulations co-exist with the influence of his teachers. The smaller pieces exhibit his taste, finesse and maturity, while the Andante and Rondo Brillante is a glittering showpiece.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50587168571672,"sku":"747313458677","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4439399-3412741.jpg?v=1777481963","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/benedict-piano-works","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
