Graduation Recital: Taek Gi Lee, piano

Pianist Taek Gi Lee begins his recital with the serpentine Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue by J. S. Bach. The performance continues with a sonata by Domenico Scarlatti, one of 555 keyboard sonatas Scarlatti composed in the service of Barbara, Queen of Spain, followed by two evocative pieces from 20th-century France. After Sergey Prokofiev’s dissonant and emotional Piano Sonata No. 7, written during the bitterest years of the Second World War, the recital reaches a thrilling conclusion with a ferocious showstopper by Franz Liszt. Program (subject to change) 2:57 JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Chromatische Fantasie und Fuge in D minor, BWV 903
