Acis and Galatea, HWV 49, is a musical work by George Frideric Handel with an English text by John Gay. The work has been variously described as a serenata, a masque, a pastoral or pastoral opera, a "little opera" (in a letter by the composer while it was being written), an entertainment and in the New Grove Dictionary of Music an oratorio. The work was originally devised as a one act masque which premiered in 1718. Handel later adapted the piece into a three act serenata for the Italian opera troupe in London in 1732, which incorporated a number of songs (still in Italian) from Aci, Galatea e Polifemo, his 1708 setting of the same story to different music. He later adapted the original English work into a two act work in 1739.

La mer, trois esquisses symphoniques pour orchestre (French for The sea, three symphonic sketches for orchestra), or simply La mer (i.e. The Sea), is an orchestral composition by Claude Debussy. Composed between 1903-5, it piece was initially not well received, but soon became one of Debussy's most admired orchestral works. La mer is scored for 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, cor anglais, 2 clarinets, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tamtam, glockenspiel, 2 harps and strings. The work has proven very influential, and its use of sensuous tonal colours and its orchestration methods have influenced many later film scores. While the structure of the work places it outside of both absolute music and programme music as those terms were understood in the early 20th century, it obviously uses descriptive devices to suggest wind, waves and the ambience of the sea. But structuring a piece around a nature subject without any literary or human element to it - neither people, nor mythology, nor ships are suggested in the piece - also was highly unusual at the time.

The String Quartet no. 12 'American', Op. 96 in F, was written by Dvořák in 1893 during his time in the USA. As with his Symphony no. 9 and other works of the period, the composer himself gave credit in the composition to his time in American lands, stating that the blend of cultures had coloured his music in a particular way. A number of critics, however, fail to see american influences in this period's pieces, aside perhaps from the use of pentatonic scales. Whatever the case, this moment in Dvorak's career did influence American composers, who turned to the string quartet genre.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 10th piano concerto, in the key of E flat major, was written for two pianos and is now catalogued as K. 365 (or 316a). The date of completion of this concerto is still debated among scholars, though research suggests that parts of it may have been written between 1775 and 1777. Mozart originally scored it two pianos together, two oboes, two bassoons; two horns; and strings. He later expanded the orchestration with pairs of clarinets, trumpets and timpani in E flat and B flat. The structure of the piece itself is somewhat unusual, departing from the traditional piano concerto forms to establish a dialogue between the soloists, and keeping the role of the orchestra to a minimum.

Franz Schubert wrote his Impromptus in 1827. These are eight pieces for solo piano, which were later published in two sets of four impromptus each, named Op. 90 and Op. posth. 142 (nowadays they are usually referred to by their Deutsch catalogue numbers, D. 899 and D. 935 respectively). These pieces are usually considered among the most popular examples of the impromptu genre, and they are usually found in recordings toghether with Schubert's Six Musical Moments. The Impromptus were allegedly inspired by the homonimous pieces of Jan Václav Voříšek. No. 3 from the first set of Impromptus, D. 899, was originally written in G flat major and in 2/4, but the publisher printed it, 30 years later, in G major and 4/4. Nowadays, the original version is favored by most pianists.

String Quartet no.1 in A

Borodin wrote this quartet in two years, and published it in 1879 with a dedication to Rimsky Korsakov's wife. Though overshadowed by his more popular second quartet, the musical resources employed by Borodin in it's composition were novel in 19th century Russia. It full title is String Quartet on a Theme of Beethoven, and it employes a variation of a melody from Beethoven's Op. 130 quartet. Upon hearing it, a critic stated that Borodin had produced Russia's first great piece of chamber music.
