Schumann: Kreisleriana, Op. 16 for Solo Piano (1838)
This performance will feature a unique and exciting program of old and new, consisting of music inspired by literature, performed on a variety of unexpected instruments. It will feature two newly-written pieces for voice, toy piano, percussion and toy percussion by Dave Kopplin and Peter Yates. These two pieces will undoubtedly provoke excitement, wonder, fantasy and maybe a return to the childlike innocent state of mind in the audience, as they watch Shpanchenko sit on the little bench, singing, reciting poetry, and taking the toys very seriously! Also on the program will be the eerie Banshee by Henry Cowell, performed on piano strings only (inspired by a poem by John Varian), as well as the imaginative and powerful Kreisleriana for solo piano by romantic composer Robert Schumann (inspired by the writings of E. T. A Hoffman).
