Tune of the Day: Presto by Telemann

This is the first movement of Georg Philipp Telemann's Canonic Sonata No. 2 for two flutes, although it was published as Sonata No. 6 in at least one collection. As with all canons, both players can play from the same part.

Tune of the Day: Solveig's Song

Originally written in 1875 for Act IV of the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, “Solveig's Song” (that is, the song sung by the character Solveig) was later included as the last movement of the second suite extracted from the work.

Perchance both winter and spring will pass
and next summer, and the entire year: —
but at last you will come, that I know for sure;
and I'll still be waiting, for I once promised I would.

Thanks to Françoise from France for suggesting this piece!

Tune of the Day: Tip the Cruiskeen

This jig is taken from Chicago collector Francis O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland, published in 1907, but it is certainly much older, as there are records of it under various names (and in different keys) since at least the early 19th century.

A cruiskeen is a small jug or pitcher, especially for holding liquor, popular in Irish and Scottish vernacular.

Tune of the Day: Study in B minor by Gariboldi

This study in articulation is étude No. 23 from Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Gariboldi's collection of 30 Etudes faciles et progressives.

Tune of the Day: Duet in G major by Köhler

This is duet No. 2 from the first volume of Twenty Easy Melodic Progressive Studies by Italian Romantic composer Ernesto Köhler. The lower voice was originally intended to be played by a teacher, but unlike other duets from the same collection it is not hard to play.

Tune of the Day: Sonatina in G major

This Sonatina in G major for solo piano is generally attributed to Ludwig van Beethoven. However, since the work was published in Hamburg, Germany after Beethoven's death, its authenticity is doubted. The work comprises 2 movements: the first, in common time, is titled “Moderato”; the second is titled “Romance” and is in 6/8 time.
