Description

Internationally-acclaimed pianist Reed Tetzloff performs works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Jonathan Dawe, Clarence Barlow, and Charles Ives. Beethoven’s majestic compositional output did not only open the door to the romanticism of the 19th century, but rather, has continuously exerted its universal influence on every generation of composers to follow, leading into the present day. This program will feature Beethoven’s piano sonata Op. 101 - a magnificent manifestation of his late style - and three works that pay homage to Beethoven in unique ways: the ‘Concord’ Sonata by the great American master of the 20th century, Charles Ives; Ten Bagatelles for piano by Jonathan Dawe, hailed as “one of our most talented and distinctive...contemporary composers” (Seen and Heard International); and No. V: Three Bagatelles by Clarence Barlow, internationally esteemed pioneer of electroacoustic and computer music known for his wide-ranging musical vocabulary and interdisciplinary approach that unites mathematics, computer science, visual art, and literature.
