MUS 264 The Pianist as Story Teller

Whether it recollects a fond memory or inspires a future dream, the sounds of the piano often transport us. Each story can then be retold or improvised for a new community of listeners. This course will explore the diverse literature of the keyboard, as well as consider the pianists who tell these stories, giving us a glimpse of the philosophies, the historical context, the social circumstances, and the artistic atmospheres where this music was created.
