dc.description.abstract | Three piano recitals were given in lieu of a written dissertation. In these three recitals I have explored the two opposing yet inseparable sides of the art of piano playing–that inspired by philosophy, literature and nature along with the extrovert tradition of the concert pianist as virtuoso performer. Composer pianists have dealt with this paradox inherent in the pianist’s art in various ways. The first lecture-recital presented Charles Ives’s Concord Sonata as a highly philosophical and heavily literature-inspired masterwork by a keyboard virtuoso. The second recital presented Scarlatti’s Sonata in F minor K. 481, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata op. 109, as well as transcriptions by Ferruccio Busoni and Franz Liszt. The third program combined folklore and literature inspired works by Albeniz and Ravel with works by Bach, Chopin, and Scriabin.
