A member of the Cornell University Music Department since 1968, where he is the Frederick J. Whiton Professor of Music, he began his pioneering activity in the early 1970s as a performer of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert on late 18th- and early 19th-century pianos. Since then he has proven to be a key contributor to the restoration of the fortepiano to the concert stage and to fresh recordings of the "mainstream" repertory.Free and open to the public.PROGRAMMalcolm Bilson '57, pianoPerforming on a fortepiano built by Rodney Regier in 1997 and modeled after an 1824 Viennese fortepiano by Conrad Graf.Sonata in C major, D. 279 Franz Schubert Allegretto (completion by Malcolm Bilson) (1797–1828)Sonata in F# minor, D. 571 Schubert Allegro moderato (completion by Malcolm Bilson)Sonata in Ab, Op. 26 Ludwig van Beethoven Andante con variazioni (1770–1827) Scherzo : Allegro molto Marcia Funebre Sulla Morta d’un Eroe AllegroINTERMISSIONNovellette in F, Op. 21, #1 Robert Schumann(1810–1856)Kreisleriana, Op. 16 Schumann Äusserst bewegt Sehr innig und nicht zu rasch Sehr aufgeregt Sehr langsam Sehr lebhaft Sehr langsam Sehr rasch Schnell und spielendPost-concert reception co-sponsored by the Office of Alumni/ae Affairs Location: Bitó Conservatory Building Sponsor: Bard College Conservatory of Music Phone: 845-758-7196 If you would like to see more events please visit the following URL: http://www.bard.edu/news/events/
