SUMMARY:Samantha Ward & Maciej Raginia in Recital
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nPERFORMERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSAMANTHA WARD\n\n\nMACIEJ RAGINIA\n\n\n\n\n\n[mashshare]\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\nDomenico Scarlatti (1685-1757)\nSonata in A major K208 \nFranz Schubert (1797-1828)\nSonata in A major D664 \nRobert Schumann (1810- 1856)\nArabesque in C Major Op. 18 \nFrédéric Chopin (1810-1849)\nNocturne in B Major Op. 62 No. 1 \nAndante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante Op. 22 \nFrancis Poulenc (1899-1963)\nSonata for 4 hands \n \n       \n\nDuration\nThis concert will last approximately 60 minutes\, with no interval.\n\nArtistic Director Samantha Ward opens the concert with one of Scarlatti's beautiful 555 sonatas for keyboard\, which attracted numerous admirers amongst composers such as Brahms\, Bartok\, Chopin and Liszt to name but a few. She follows it with Schubert's tender Sonata in A major D664\, written in the summer of 1819 when the composer was only 24 and Schumann's Arabesque op 18.The Romantic spirit prevails in the second half of the concert when Maciej Raginia offers one of Chopin’s last works\, the Nocturne in B Major Op. 62 No. 1\, which is haunting and full of mysterious harmonies and textures. The Nocturnes Op. 62 were completed in 1846\, the very last year which Chopin spent in Nohant\, the family home of his lover George Sand. Soon after\, the couple separated and he wrote nothing of significance. The image of a lonely and heartbroken composer at Nohant disappears completely as soon as the first note of his Grande Polonaise Op. 22 is heard. The concert  closes with the quirky Poulenc’s Sonata for piano duet. There is none of the usual development here\, which one would expect from sonata form and the clashing harmonies constantly play with the listeners’ ears.\n\nTICKETS: €8-15\nFREE ENTRY  for the festival’s participants.\n\n\n\n\n[AIGetTwitterFeeds ai_username='PianoWeekFest' ai_numberoftweets='3' ai_tweet_title='Your Title']
