His music – more conservative and classical in orientation than that of his pianist-composer brother, Xaver – sits somewhere between Chopin and Brahms, with echoes of Schubert and Schumann. This first installment of a survey of his piano music is intended to put these immediately attractive works before the public once again – for the first time in over a century. They are played here by the Portuguese pianist-composer Luís Pipa, professor of piano and chamber music at the University of Minho, near Porto, following up on his well-received Toccata Classics album of music by his compatriot José Vianna da Motta.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49606742311192,"sku":"5060113445216","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3766119-2536372.jpg?v=1777638064","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/philipp-scharwenka-piano-music-vol-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
