Thursday, 2/12 at 12 PM and Saturday, 2/14 at 1 PM:
Leveling Up Schubert: Lyric Beauty, Deep Emotion
Schubert wrote an astonishing amount of piano music in his very short life, from the beloved dances and waltzes many of us teach, to the surpassing poetry of the sonatas, and to the very formidable technical powerhouse that is Wanderer Fantasie. Join us in exploring this treasure trove of gorgeous music!
Thursday, 2/26 at 12 PM and Saturday, 2/28 at 1 PM:
Leveling up Tchaikovsky: From Miniature to Monumental!
Tchaikovsky wrote many wonderful pieces for young pianists, and he wrote the masterful collection called The Seasons, with pieces for each month of the year. But he also wrote major works, including several sonatas. I hope you can join us as we survey the piano music of one of the world's most popular composers
Thursday, 3/5 at 12 PM and Sunday, 3/8 at 2 PM:
Leveling Up Scriabin: Mysticism, Perfume, and Color
On first glance, Scriabin's catalog of piano works may remind you of Chopin's, as you will find preludes, études, mazurkas, impromptus, waltzes, and nocturnes. These will be surveyed, as will be his 10 remarkable sonatas. If you don't know the intensely romantic music of this enigmatic composer, I hope you can tune in!
Thursday, 3/12at 12 PM and Saturday, 3/14 at 1 PM:
Did you know that Ravel wrote the first movement of his famous Sonatine for a newspaper-sponsored competition? He was disqualified for going over the length set by the rules, but it didn't matter: the magazine went bankrupt before a winner was announced. From the Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn to the formidable technical hazards of Gaspard de la Nuit, join us for a survey of this remarkable repertoire.
