Summary of Dissertation Recitals Three Programs of Vocal Art Songs and Instrumental Chamber Music

Abstract

Three collaborative piano recitals were performed in lieu of a written dissertation.

The repertoire for these recitals was chosen to reflect examples of large- and small-scale genres a collaborative pianist might encounter. The first recital, Symphonic Chamber Music, contained a piano trio by Johannes Brahms and a piano quintet by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The second recital was Hugo Wolf’s Italienisches Liederbuch. The final recital was a lecture and survey of vocal and instrumental chamber music by the composers of Les Six.
