Our task is to form veritable talents who possess the necessary gifts to become masters, without attending to the ungifted mediocrity.

Liszt to Giovanni Sgambati
Lecture by Richard Shuster

16 May 2022, 16.00-17.00

Auditorium

Composers’ Forum

Lecture by Richard Shuster Presented by Liszt Academy

Richard Shuster is Professor of Piano at Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas.

 

Theme of the lecture:

Chain of Circumstances for solo piano or piano four-hands (with optional dancer and/or interactive computer music) is conceived as a series of disparate, distinctive, and relatively static musical states. It is modular, open-form, non-linear, and recombinant, and is based on a scale that is symmetrical, palindromic and complementary to itself. Chain provides an ever-changing sonic canvas, which the pianist(s) may alter at will. In this lecture-recital, pianist Richard Shuster will present an analysis and perform the complete work.

Presented by

Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, Composition Department
