Augustus Arnone plays music of Bach and Finnissy

Augustus Arnone – solo piano music by JS Bach and Michael Finnissy. Augustus
Arnone will perform two Preludes and Fugues from JS Bach's The
Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II, as well as 'My parents' generation
thought War meant something' from Michael Finnissy's monumental solo
piano cycle, "The History Of Photography In Sound." Both collections
that this program draws from, WTCII and The History Of Photography In
Sound, are large-scale encyclopedic and pan-historical works that take
a panoramic view of a vast sampling of musical sources. The Finnissy
cycle draws from the music of JS Bach extensively, along with a
plethora of other musical artefacts, just as JS Bach referenced the
numerous styles drawn from different regions and time periods that he
studied over the course of his career.

Program:

JS Bach: Prelude And Fugue in F Major From WTC II
JS Bach: Prelude And Fugue in F Minor From WTC II
Michael Finnissy: My parents' generation thought War meant something (1999)
