Seven piano group members met at the Steinway Gallery today. Perhaps inspired by the 18th Frederic Chopin international piano competition in Warsaw, which was won by Canadian pianist Bruce (Xiaoyu) Liu, Chopin was well represented. A piece by Robert Starer may have been a first by that composer for our group.
Here's what was played:
- Gregory: Gladiolus Rag, by Scott Joplin
- Jackie: Sonatina in C major op. 36 #3, by M. Clementi
- Wesley: Over the Rainbow, by Harold Arlen, arr. By George Shearing
- David: Milonga del Angel, by Astor Piazzolla
- Jeff: Prelude in B minor Op. 32, by S. Rachmaninoff
