Composed late in his life, the Six Pieces for Piano op. 118 by Johannes Brahms constitute a turning point in the history of piano music. On the one hand this collection of short pieces adheres to traditional forms and structures. On the other hand, however, Brahms explores novel sonorities and new methods of developing musical material that paved the way for the music of the 2nd Viennese School in the beginning of the 20th century.

Seda has recorded these wonderful pieces earlier this year at Harvard University, and her interpretation of Brahms’ masterpieces will be published on a forthcoming CD along with Alban Berg’s Sonata op. 1 and Mozart’s Sonata in F major, K. 280.

As a preview of the forthcoming CD we present to you a section of the third piece in the cycle, the Ballade in g minor. We hope you enjoy the music! If you would like to order Seda’s CD please contact us at info@sedaroeder.com.

We are very proud to present to our website visitors a recording of Méandres, Bert van Herck’s newest piano composition. Seda gave the US-premiere of Méandres on February 9, 2008 at Paine Hall for an audience of New Music enthusiasts. The following is a live recording of her performance.

After a very productive day in the studio and a sleepless night in the control room we are finally resurfacing to present you with a preview of Seda’s new recording of Mozart’s Sonata in F major, K. 280. We hope you enjoy listening to the music!

On the same day, Seda also recorded Brahms’s Six Piano Pieces, op. 118. Both works will be released this spring on Seda’s new CD which will also feature Alban Berg’s Sonata op. 1. If you are interested in ordering the CD, please contact us at info@sedaroeder.com.

We have just finished uploading a recording of the 3rd movement of Beethoven’s Sonata Pathétique op. 13. Seda recorded this piece in 2005, while still at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. The recording was made at the Wiener Saal, one of Salzburg’s nicest concert halls.
