AN EVENING CONCERT

NANCY FIORI (Pianoforte Recital)

THE Italian Concerto is an attempt 
J- to apply to one instrument the principles of alternation and of contrast that were observed in writing music for an instrument (or group of instruments) used with some form of Orchestra. It is a Concerto, but a one-man Concerto, the only piece so named that Bach ever wrote for one performer. 
The title refers to the fact that tho Italians established the Concerto form as a chain of Movements (usually three-two quick ones, with H slow one in the middle). 
The FIRST MOVEMENT of the work is a charming flowing one. It will easily be realized in what way the player's performance on a one-keyboard pianoforte imitates the original manner of performance on a two-keyboard Harpsichord, which, in its turn. imitated the playing of an orchestra divided into a small group of instruments contrasted with a large group. 
DOMENICO SCARLATTI , a contemporary of Bach and Handel, wrote his bright and vigorous short pieces before the word ' Sonata came to mean a four-Movement work. In his day, 'Sonata' was a term applied to an instrumental piece, as distinct from a ' Cantata ' or vocal piece. mHERE is a Breton legend that the Cathedral of Ys was buried beneath the waves. On a calm day, the peasants used to declare, the tolling of the bells and the chanting of a phantom congregation could be heard, faint and sweet, from the depths. 
Debussy, in his short piece, has given us a mystically imaginative suggestion of this ghostly music. 
His Minstrels wittily suggests the antics of a Negro band, with its strong syncopated rhythms, the somewhat vulgar tune that comes swaying in, and the twang of the banjo.
