Ian Mercado, Piano
Ballade no. 4 in F minor, op. 52 is the last ballade out of the 4 that Chopin composed. It was written during his late years and it is among his greatest works as it captures a huge range of human emotions and expressions through the musical ideas. According to Robert Schumann, this Ballade was inspired by Adam Mickiewicz's poem, 'The Three Budrys', which tells of three brothers sent away by their father to seek treasures, and the story of their return with three Polish brides.

Petite Suite, L.65Claude Debussy (1862 - 1918)612:18
        I. En bateau III. Minuet
Sarah Kassing and Christine Sharp, Piano
The Petite Suite is considered one of Debussy’s most appealing melodic short pieces. The work consists of four movements, each of which give equal opportunities to both pianists. The first, En bateau [In a boat], has a melody accompanied by broken chords giving imitations of ripples and whirlpools in water. One of Debussy’s later signature elements, the wholetone scale, is used predominately in this movement. The third, Minuet, comprises melodies containing “pure musical magic” which suggests the depiction of elves at play. An eerie sound is created through tenth intervals. We hope you enjoy!

Étude in C# minor Op. 25 No. 7Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849)512:31
       
Timothy Kan, Piano
Many refer to this etude as the "Cello" etude because of its sonorous and full left-hand melody that occurs throughout the piece. However, the left-hand and right-hand constantly engages in a passionate duet, creating one of the most beautiful melodies Chopin ever composed. Although there are a few virtuosic passages in the piece, instead of focusing on technical virtuosity like Chopin's other etudes, this etude mainly focuses to bring forth emotion and passion through precise voicing and phrasing.

Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 39Lowell Liebermann (1961 - )1212:50
        I. Moderato
Adam Richardson, Flute
This dramatic and Romantic flute concerto is one of the most important twentieth-century additions to the repertory of the instrument. The first movement opens in a Moderato tempo. The opening and closing parts of the movement are devoted to a single theme, which is lyrical and highly charming. The music has a texture similar to Sergei Prokofiev's later-period works such as Romeo and Juliet. The middle part of the movement is an arc comprising five variations on the harmonic progression of the main theme. These variations afford the soloist an opportunity for very brilliant playing, and are formal set of chaconne variations.
