In spite of his reputation for bombast, Liszt was always capable of writing beautiful, delicate and original music, of which these two Consolations, arranged by Carlo Martelli, are a good example.

The Mandarin Dance is either a Chinese mandarin dancing in the square, or a James Bond type of car chase, or even music to a Keystone Cops type of silent film. Novelty Night represents an end of season musicians party with everyone doing a little sketch. Dance of a Clown is a circus clown showing off various dances, and Tyrolienne Capers reflects a group of Austrian country folks dancing.

Scott Joplin was born into a poor black family in Texas in 1868, just three years after the abolition of slavery. As a teenager he left home to work as a saloon pianist in St Louis, a cosmopolitan Mississippi port and the birthplace of Ragtime, the lively piano style which had developed from syncopated minstrel songs and dances. Among many talented black pianists Joplin was the first with the ability to set down in musical notation this new art form. Besides rags Joplin wrote other sorts of piano music, such as the lovely Solace (featured in the hit film The Sting, and arranged here for string quartet by Bill Thorp), whose gentle melancholy and emotionally-charged pauses are overlaid on the rhythms of a Mexican Serenade.
