Program Notes from the Artist:

As a young artist, I believe it is important to explore and develop a wide range of repertoire. In this program, I will be performing works that span from the foundational composer Bach to one of the most important 20th-century composers, Béla Bartók. Bach’s Prelude in B Major, BWV 892, has an uplifting, almost exalting quality, bringing joy and beauty to the listener. The accompanying Fugue features a subject described by Joseph Kerman as the “steps of iron fate,” with a countersubject representing the “passionate wringing of hands.” The fugue concludes with a passionate and glorious ending.

In contrast, Berg’s Piano Sonata Op. 1 presents a completely different sense of tonality. Written in a romantic style and filled with chromaticism, it conveys deep emotional turmoil from within. Beethoven’s Sonata, Op. 110 takes the listener on a spiritual journey. Between the first and last movements—two of the most sublime in his output—Beethoven places a humane touch. The second movement, like a peasant song, expresses Beethoven’s take on humor and life amidst all the tragic passion and profundity. Bartók’s Piano Sonata has a charging rhythmic drive, with folklike aspects in the melody, using the piano more as a percussive instrument and emphasizing harmonic dissonances. I hope the audience will experience the wide range of sounds and emotions in this journey through nearly 200 years of piano music.
