MUSIC AMONG THE BOATS

July 10 at 06:30 PM

Introduction

Here is a two-faced program. Part One showcases a major clarinet virtuoso of our times, Anton Dressler, whose music fully explores the technical and expressive resources of his instrument. Part Two is built around Ravel. His Rapsodie espagnole is heard here in piano transcription, preceded and introduced by his youthful Habanera, by works of two Iberian composers, Turina and Albéniz, and by one by Franz Liszt, Les Jeux d’eau à la Villa d’Este, with its aquatic imagery that paved the way to Ravel’s later tone color explorations.
