SPEAKER_06: So I'll be beginning the program with a prelude infused by Johann Sebastian Bach in G major.
SPEAKER_06: And it's from the Well Tempert Clavier, which is a set of pieces that Bach wrote when well temperament was, I guess, invented in Europe, which is the major and minor keys, the 12 major and 12 minor keys that we all know today.
SPEAKER_06: So it's from the first book from the Well Tempered Clavier.
SPEAKER_06: A couple years later, in the 19th century, Frederick Chopin was heavily inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, and he adored uh Bach's works and always kept a copy of the Walthepper Clavier at his piano.
SPEAKER_06: And whenever he had piano students, he always asked them to play a prelude and fugue before the lesson.
SPEAKER_06: So the pieces I'll be playing after the prelude and fugue is Frederick Chopin's Atube number one, also uh nicknamed Waterfall.
SPEAKER_09: My name is Ezra Shimoto.
SPEAKER_09: I will be playing Prophet and at the number two, the first movement.
SPEAKER_09: It's allegor man on trouble.
SPEAKER_09: Uh I discovered recently that this piece was actually uh dedicated for uh a Prokofia friend that have uh committed suicide one year before.
SPEAKER_09: So it's kind of this mood of this piece, it's not something happy.
SPEAKER_09: It's much more darker and some bitterness.
SPEAKER_09: I hope you can get that.
SPEAKER_01: Uh Beethoven's a piano tonata number four in a flat major, the fourth movement, um poco legretto e gratioso.
SPEAKER_01: Like uh a little happy and funny, basically.
SPEAKER_01: And um, yeah, um this tonara is also nicknamed like uh grand tonara, and the written is like for his early period is like the longest in time.
SPEAKER_01: And also it was the first one that was published by itself.
SPEAKER_01: Normally it will be published by like, I don't know, like two or three tonaras at a time, this one just by itself.
SPEAKER_01: And the way that's written, it's very uh orchestral in a way.
SPEAKER_01: And it's the the key choice that he put, like if major, normally he would put it for music that he considered to be big and grandiose because at that time that was the key that Brad's instruments were able to play better.
SPEAKER_01: And I hope you'll enjoy.
SPEAKER_00: My name is Bohan Wong.
SPEAKER_00: I will be performing JS Ba Front Suite number one in D minor, and movement one is called Alamand.
SPEAKER_00: And a French tweet, it's like a set of dance pieces, and the dances are uh the basic structure is the first is Alamant, which is a moderate tempo dance, and then it's uh Quran, which is a fast dance, then we have Theraband, which is a slow and um very expressive dance.
SPEAKER_00: Then the last one is a G, it's a fast uh dance again, and I'll be playing a la mandating, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_07: Hello, so my name is uh Victor Well, and today I'll be playing uh Nocturne number five by Noah Lieberman.
SPEAKER_07: So uh Lieberman Lieberman, or I I guess this piece is pretty much different to anything you've heard so far.
SPEAKER_07: Um it's uh contemporary composer still alive.
SPEAKER_07: Um and about this piece, though, a nocturne, uh it's uh a kind of pizza relates to the night, you know, like nocturnal nocturne.
SPEAKER_07: Um and so one way that I would describe this piece is it's almost kind of like uh a dream that gets corrupted and turns into a nightmare.
SPEAKER_07: Um yeah, so um this piece uh it's part of the texture, it's pretty pretty simple, it kind of floats off.
SPEAKER_07: But uh the main theme just gets transformed over and over again throughout the the whole piece.
SPEAKER_07: Um and uh it's uh very layered and quite uh atmosphere, but dark in in in part of the node.
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I hope you enjoyed that.
SPEAKER_03: My name is Tolly Moris, and I have the privilege of amazing group of students.
SPEAKER_03: I just wanted to thank you all for coming out, uh, which means a lot to us.
SPEAKER_03: Um to play in front of a real audience because normally we play on campus and the same recital hall, and this this wonderful students they come from.

SPEAKER_03: They're they come from Brazil and Colombia, and of course, Texas, always beyond, and Ukraine, and uh China and Ireland is everywhere, literally.
SPEAKER_03: Um, and the all study count of performance, um, different degrees undergrad you at Braddoor.
SPEAKER_05: It would put the visual of that control.
SPEAKER_05: And next thing that we did with the name is to put the name at the end of the pizza so that you would hear you'd play the music, and then you'd see the title, and you'd be uh you'd get the visual, and then you'd see and be like, oh, this is heather, this is brewed.
SPEAKER_05: Uh, it was just a fun thing that I hope you enjoyed.
SPEAKER_02: Good afternoon.
SPEAKER_02: My name is Pauline, and today I'll be playing AD Pianato at Grand Polynes Brilliant by Frederick.
SPEAKER_02: And this is a combined work at the first part A Dante.
SPEAKER_02: A pianato means even and command.
SPEAKER_02: And which made that part low and a pieceful.
SPEAKER_02: And uh it's it's written actually after the second piece of pollinate, actual pollinate.
SPEAKER_02: And uh it's for solo piano.
SPEAKER_02: Um and the second second piece of the pollinate part was originally wrote for uh written for piano and orchestra.

SPEAKER_08: Um some uh interesting things about this piece.
SPEAKER_08: Uh um the version I will be playing today is the second version, 1931 version that was originally composed in 1913.
SPEAKER_08: Um it's shorter than the original.
SPEAKER_08: Um what else?
SPEAKER_08: But you'll you'll hear a really significant uh motif in the piece are bells.
SPEAKER_08: So what I understand from life in Russia is that uh we hear bells all over the place and it's uh very much a part of the Russian Orthodox uh uh uh tradition.
SPEAKER_08: Uh, uh so the this movement culminates in that large bell section, and uh we can listen out for that.
SPEAKER_08: Uh um finally, before I play, I just would like again to say thank you to Ben for arranging this.
SPEAKER_08: Thank you to your pastor uh town as a hospital.
