Music at Noon presents Deanna Oye, piano
Poetry in Harmony: Franz Liszt's Sonic and Spiritual Journeys
12:15 pm | March 7, 2023
University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome!
Franz Liszt was venerated by his contemporaries as a virtuoso pianist of incomparable stardom, a master with an immense technical prowess and a compositional skill to match. At the height of his career, he began to explore a more introspective side in his compositions, contemplating literary and religious influences, and pushing the boundaries of expected harmonic trajectory. This program explores this crossroad through two major works from his famous Années de pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage) and three miniatures that beautifully illustrate Liszt's sensitivity to harmony, thematic transformation, luxurious warmth, and romantic yearning.
