Moritz Moszkowski's 'Klavierstücke (2), Op. 45' is a set of two piano pieces composed in 1895. The pieces were premiered in the same year in Berlin, Germany. The first movement is marked Allegro energico and the second movement is marked Allegro moderato. The first movement of 'Klavierstücke (2), Op. 45' is a lively and energetic piece that showcases Moszkowski's virtuosic piano writing. The piece is in sonata form, with a dramatic opening theme that is developed throughout the movement. The middle section of the movement features a lyrical melody that provides a contrast to the opening theme. The movement ends with a virtuosic coda that brings the piece to a thrilling conclusion. The second movement of 'Klavierstücke (2), Op. 45' is a more subdued piece that features a flowing melody and delicate accompaniment. The piece is in ternary form, with a gentle opening section that leads into a more dramatic middle section. The middle section features a faster tempo and more complex harmonies, before returning to the opening melody in the final section. Overall, 'Klavierstücke (2), Op. 45' is a showcase of Moszkowski's skill as a composer and pianist. The pieces are technically demanding and require a high level of virtuosity from the performer. The first movement is a dramatic and exciting piece that highlights Moszkowski's ability to write thrilling piano music, while the second movement is a more introspective and lyrical piece that showcases his ability to write beautiful melodies.
