Tristan Lee Piano: Haydn, Schoenberg, Cage and Prokofiev

In this recital, pianist Tristan Lee explores three ground-breaking works of the twentieth century, alongside the Classicism of Haydn. Commencing with Haydn’s largest work for the keyboard, Piano Sonata Hob. XVI/52, this recital then surges forward in Schoenberg’s aphoristic set of miniatures, Six Little Piano Pieces Op. 19. Allowing for a moment of quiet reflection, Cage’s controversial 4’33’’ is followed by Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 7, which he composed amidst the horrors of World War II. In this exciting recital, each work uniquely pushes the boundaries of pianistic and musical expression.
