Robert Schwartz, solo piano

Piedmont Piano Company is pleased to present

Robert Schwartz, solo piano

Acclaimed Bay Area pianist Robert Schwartz performs at Piedmont Piano Company for the first time. Known for creating programs of great variety and color, he will begin with the elegant and always surprising Sonata No. 49 in Eb Major by Joseph Haydn. The program moves from the 18th c. royal court to belle Époque France with four atmospheric Préludes of Debussy and the first half finishes with the driving and powerful Prokofiev Toccata Op. 11. The entire second half will consist of Franz Liszt's B Minor Sonata. This most epic and Wagnerian of Liszt's piano works portrays terrifying struggle alternating with passionate lyricism and, in the end, resolution and peace.
