Dear Friends--
On Saturday evening, May 19th at 7 pm I’ll play a program of piano
music by Franz Schubert. Featured are selections from his Impromptus
Op. 90 and Op. 142 and the Moment Musicaux. I’ll play and discuss
these works at three different historical pianos here at the house:
the 18th-century German fortepiano, the Victorian English Parlor Grand,
and the English Cottage Upright. I’ll also talk about the historical
tunings used on these pianos, forms of Well Temperament, and I’ll
discuss how temperament is related to key color and musical expression.
Please let us know if you’d like to attend!
