🎵 Notes from September 16, 2023 meetup

In addition to several familiar pieces, we heard a number of new works at Steinway Gallery.  Highlights included Perry performing a Cuban composer unknown to most of us, and Gordon playing a piece by Czerny that was quite different from his vast opus of technical works. 

Here’s what was played:
  • Gregory: Old Adam, by William Bolcom
  • Perry: La Comparsa, by Ernesto Lecuona
  • Jeff: Prelude in B Minor, by S. Rachmaninoff
  • Karin: Prelude from Suite Bergamasque, by C. Debussy
  • Françoise (vocal) and Randy (piano accompaniment): Les Anges, by Erik Satie
  • Gordon: Impromptu Passioné Op. 754 #6, by Carl Czerny
  • Grace: Divenire, by Ludovico Einaudi
  • Gordon:  Legende #1 (Op. 16 #1), by Ignace Paderewski
  • Randy: Valse, by Evgeny Grinko
  • Jeff: Preludes Op. 11 #12, Op. 17 #3 and Op. 11 #10, by A. Scriabin
  • Françoise: Moonlight Nocturne, by Catherine Rollin
  • Grace: Fantaisie Impromptu, by F. Chopin
