By admin | October 11, 2008
Pianist Ana Cervantes will perform my Prelude: Homage to Chopin in her program GENERACIONES on Sunday 12 October in the Sala Ponce in the Bellas Artes Palace in Mexico City, as part of a Piano Series presented by the National Coordination of Music and Opera.
According to Ana’s Press Release: “The idea is that –just like us– music has its great-aunts, its great-great-grandparents, in short, its forebears. That the music which today is being written –just like us– doesn’t come from nowhere. With that idea I hope to draw some lines of connection as interesting as they will be enjoyable.” The program will consist of the following musical groupings:
• CPE Bach (1714-1788) - Sonata “Prusiana” # en do mayor and Laurie Altman (USA, 1946) - Fuga y solilóquio
• William Byrd (England, 1543-1623) - Pavana “Delight” and Stephen McNeff (UK, 1953) - Pavana (a la manera antigua) para doña Susanita
• Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) - Nocturno Opus 9 #1; Rodolfo Halffter (Spain/Mexico, 1899-1987) - Nocturno: Homenaje a Arturo Rubinstein; and Charles Griffin (USA, 1968) - Preludio: Homenaje a Chopin
• Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) - 3 Intermezzi, opus 118 and Arturo Márquez (México, 1950) Días de mar y río
