Jonathan Biss brought togethermodern and old style music duringhis Tursday night perormance inthe Dvorak Concert Hall o theDoudna Fine Arts Center.
In the rst hal, he memorizedall the songs he perormed, includ-ing the Sonata in C Major by FranzSchubert.
“Te modern pieces I tend touse music or,” Biss said. “Te resto the program I have memorized.”
Prior to playing the Sonata, Bisstook the time to explain each o thetwo halves.
“Franz Schubert didn’t completeeither o these two halves,” he said.“Te rst hal is laid-back, and thesecond hal is tightly strung.”
Biss won the Leonard Barstein Award in 2005 and has perormedin the International Music Festivalo 2007.
“I think he plays with a lot o expression,” Derek Maninor, areshman piano player said. “I’mglad he’s perorming works that arenot well-known, such as Selectionsrom Jatekok.”
Biss even brought some Mozartto his concert.
“Te Mozart had grace, and
the Schubert had powerul climax-es,” said Harrison Cole, a seniormusic perormance major said. “Heplayed beautiully the entire time.”
Nocturne in D fat Major deliv-ered powerul beats and melodiesto the audience who attended. Teperormance received Biss a stand-ing ovation.
“I really like that Eastern’s start-ing to get this kind o thing,” saidNeil Wright, a sophomore psychol-ogy major. “He was phenomenal,and more than I expected.”
Te last musical selection o theevening, Ballade No. 4 in minor,Op. 52 composed by Frederic Cho-pin, gave a soothing end to his per-ormance.
“Te love or music is whatgives me the courage to keep play-ing,” Biss said. “It’s what keeps megoing.”
