Friends University’s Dr. James Knight will chronicle keyboard music from its earliest inception to modern trends during a recital 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11 in the Riney Fine Arts Center’s Sebits Auditorium.
“The 250th anniversary of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s death is this year,” said Knight, associate professor of piano. “To commemorate the event I have chosen a set of variations that was a very popular recital opener at the end of the 19th century.”
Another set of variations by Anton Webern was written in the 20th century and highlights 12-tone procedures. The rest of the recital will be filled out by a very popular Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sonata and selections by Frederic Chopin.
This concert is free and open to the public.
