Jeremy Denk performs piano music including Bach, Joplin, Stravinsky, Byrd and Hindemith.

Jeremy Denk performs piano music by Bach, Joplin, Stravinsky, Byrd, Hindemith, Bolcom, Nancarrow, Lambert and Mozart at Perth Concert Hall.

Kate Molleson introduces the first in a series of four programmes featuring some of the most outstanding and thought-provoking pianists of our time. From Perth Concert Hall, American pianist Jeremy Denk performs music by Byrd and Bach to Scott Joplin and Conlon Nancarrow in a programme that spans nearly 400 years of composition. A thread runs through these pieces: the importance of the bass line, dance rhythms and music that was popular at the time of writing.

Bach: English Suite No.3 in G minor, BWV 808 
Joplin/Hayden: Sunflower Slow Drag
Stravinsky: Piano-Rag-Music 
Byrd: The Passinge Mesures (The Nynthe Pavan from My Ladye Nevells Booke)
