Jacquelyne Silver: The Great Composers
1008 Wall Street, San Diego, 92037
Cost: $17 - $22
Each of Jacquelyn Silver’s series of lectures covers two contemporaneous composers. These are composers who forever altered the course of musical history and changed our lives profoundly. Silver will examine musical styles and the way each one heard the magical messages that made them unique. The May 23 lecture looks at Chopin and Liszt. Known as “The Poet of the Piano,” Chopin’s creative originality is that of enormous genius—no one has ever composed music with such nuance of sound, blended with melody almost supernatural. Franz Liszt, colossus of the piano with a technique and personality to match, was the epitome of unleashed creativity and charisma.
