Faculty Concert Series: Laura Kargul, pianist
The Classical Embrace of Other Lands, Other Cultures
Classical composers of the 18th and 19th centuries took inspiration from the music of foreign lands such as Turkey, Indonesia and even the Americas. Laura Kargul will present a solo program illustrating the influence of other cultures on traditional classical composers: Haydn’s high-spirited Sonata in D Major, Hob. XVI:37, replete with Ottoman musical gestures; Chopin’s Barcarolle, a vivid evocation of Venice; Debussy’s captivating suite Estampes, inspired by hearing a Javanese gamelan at the World’s Fair in Paris; and one of Schubert’s most intriguing works, the monumental Sonata in B-Flat Major, D 960, composed while he was immersed in the books of American writer James Fenimore Cooper.
