We had an opportunity to perform at Hedda’s on her Kawai grand piano. One interesting occurrence and a first, was that two different pieces were played twice by different performers. Great minds think alike! Another first was a piano/violin duet by Arvo Pärt, who is not typically known for piano works. Also unusual were two works by Liszt, one of his later pieces and one from his youth. A mixture of older and modern works rounded out the session.
Here's what was played:
- Gordon: Farewell (Abscheid) S251, by F. Liszt
- Hedda: Intermezzo in A minor, by Manuel Ponce
- Karin: Imaginary Landscapes, by Laurens van Rooyen
- Natalie: Polonaise Op. 26 #1, by F. Chopin
- Christopher: Intermezzo op. 118 #2, by J. Brahms
- Randy (piano) and Kevin (violin): Spiegel im Spiegel, by Arvo Pärt
- Anne-Marie: Intermezzo op. 118 #2, by J. Brahms
- Mizuki: Polonaise Op. 26 #1, by F. Chopin
- Gordon: Etude #12 S136, by F. Liszt
- Hedda: Boogie Prelude, by William Gillock
- Anne-Marie: Stairway to Paradise, by G. Gershwin
- Natalie: Granada from Suite Espaňol, by I. Albeniz
- Mizuki: Prelude in E mia fille aunor, by F. Chopin
- Karin: La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin, by C. Debussy
