20th Century Piano Music

Stayed up later than I should have tonight searching youtube for pieces of 20th century piano music I like

Debussy...

Poulenc (my favourite piano duet after Percy Grainger's Country Gardens)...

Charles Ives...

Messiaen (he could make a piano sound like a bird - almost)...

Shostakovich...

Cage (a great draughtsman, too)...

http://youtu.be/8fPSz-o4zzY

Schoenberg... Mitsuko Uchina talking about playing his piano concerto.  It's challenging music to listen to, but you don't have to be a fan to be inspired by her drive and passion for the music. I'd like to think her video could recruit new listeners...
