Bach was a great admirer of the Italian composers of his day and, in accordance with the then accepted practice, he freely appropriated Italian themes, stylistic ideas, indeed entire works for his own purposes. The Italian Concerto , a brilliant reworking of a violin concerto borrowed from Vivaldi, is considered a superb example of Bach’s genius in marrying the clarity and melodic transparency of the Italian style with the sturdy musical architecture of the German school. LUDWIG van BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas constitute a milestone in the history of keyboard music, providing a bridge between the harmony and elegance of the Classical period and the emotionalism and heroic sweep of the Romantic era.

Parker solos at Winspear
By JOHN CHARLES Express Writer EDMONTON Jon Kimura Parker answered his cell phone on the way to a B.C. ferry to begin a gruelling outreach tour in the Gulf Islands. The distinguished pianist, who received the Order of Canada last year, performs his first Edmonton solo recital tonight at the Winspear, though he's played with the symphony several times. The occasion is close to Kimura Parker's heart - a benefit to launch the Marek Jablonski Prize for Chopin. This award will be given annually to a gifted young Canadian pianist who's outstanding in Chopin. The first winner, recently announced, is Thomas Yu, who studies at theUniversity of Saskatchewan. Jablonski, who died last May, had offered to give such a recital for the endowment of the prize, which was founded by the Alberta Registered Music Teachers' Association. The association and many of Jablonski's piano students weren't sure what to do, but Kimura Parker volunteered to perform himself.

"WHAT TO LISTEN FOR"
from Jon Kimura Parker
In 1972, at 12 years of age, I had an experience that changed my life. And believe it or not, this profound experience involved watching television! I can clearly remember sitting in the den with my parents: my father,
a true piano music lover who still doesn't play a note, and my mother, a great piano teacher, who always loves
to follow the performance with the musical score in front of her. This was a televised piano recital by the revered and eccentric Italian pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. (Just what IS it anyway with pianists who have three names?!) He must have performed several works, but
what I remember to this day was his interpretation of Beethoven's Piano Sonata in C Major, Op.2, no.3

The only appellation that seems appropriate for Austrian Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) is genius. He had by the age of 8 performed for Emperor Francis I of Vienna, France's Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette and England's George III. Mozart's father, Leopold, a man of mild musical talents, was the assistant director of the Archbishop's chapel, an author of a treatise on violin playing and a composer of some ability and reputation. Mozart's prodigious musical apparatus caused his father to abandon all other ambitions and devote himself solely to handling his son's musical education. Mozart made many public performances between the ages of seven and fifteen, often with his older sister Nannerl. Concerts involved not only performing existing works, but also reading concertos at sight and improvising variations and fugues. His many trips abroad meant Mozart came into contact with myriad contemporary music and all of the leading musicians of the day. "Papa" Haydn exclaimed to Leopold that, "Before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name. He has taste and, what is more, the most profound knowledge of composition."

Sunday, March 9, 2003
A growth spurt at 60 is rare, but the Chamber Music Society of Detroit knows when it's time to celebrate. In honor of its 60th anniversary season, the society is expanding its 2003-04 series from eight to nine concerts. Also featured will be a non-subscription performance by cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. The season includes an exceptional number of high-profile recitals, including Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky. The society has sharpened its artistic profile in recent years, presenting a wider variety of artists, repertoire and special events. Subscriptions are also at an all-time high 513. Many concerts sell out the 720-seat Seligman Performing Arts Center in Beverly Hills… [Chamber Music Society president Lois] Beznos said the preponderance of recitals this year was less a matter of planning than a happy coincidence. Also on the bill are return appearances by the Juilliard String Quartet, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio with violinist Jennifer Koh, and the Shanghai Quartet with violinist Arnold Steinhardt and pianist Rieko Aizawa.

In a way topping even that, the program itself was a tribute and a challenge to performers and audience alike: three very serious works, none of them commonly heard these days. Parker's command of the solo part in Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor was as close to note-perfect as it gets. Verging on a quibble, I would have preferred a somewhat less driving bravura in the first-movement cadenza, but there was also ample very poetic playing there and everywhere else in the score. The audience response was hugely enthusiastic, prompting Parker to offer a brief but brilliant jazz encore, Art Tatum's improvization on "Running Wild." New to me, Parker is quite a find, and I hope we can have him back.
