Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis graduate recital features significant piano works from the major periods in music history. The opening pieces - the Scarlatti sonatas - are technically challenging but allow the pianist to show a great deal of expression. Schumann's Liederkreis, Op. 39 as well as the Weisgarber Sonatine are collaborative works; the first features a soprano soloist and the second is written for flute, clarinet, and piano. Ending the first half of the program is Schumann's Concerto in A minor, op. 54, extremely challenging for both soloist and accompanist, especially during the cadenza. The second half of the recital includes another contemporary work, Sketches in Color (Volume 2) by Robert Starer; these are short, exciting pieces based on tertiary colors. The recital closes with Debussy's Estampes, a set of works that were one of his earliest compositions for solo piano.
