String Theory 20: Mostly Violin (with Piano Accompaniment)
With coarse harmonies and a rhythmic engine requiring a few cranks before it hums, the two-movement Sonata emerges brooding and severe, wonderfully modern and unfamiliar.

A group wedding that ends badly for all. Salieri’s early French success stems from Gluck’s influence.

Nunes would have turned 75 on 31 August; Dusapin had a rare outing in the orchestral season of an American orchestra in May; Nemescu writes music at once conceptual and visceral, one defying words.

Classical Spohr penned the first Nonet, light and lively, although Romantic Onslow’s has grandeur.

String Theory 19: Mostly Cello
Pieces requiring retuning or scordatura have a modest foothold in the literature. It is very unusual to encounter works where strings are adjusted while playing, but several specimens fill out Ballon’s bold recital.

Piano Factory 16. / (Dis)Arrangements 9: Liszt and Wagner
Liszt’s last pieces reflect little interest in pyrotechnics or showy glamour. They are curious about harmony and the spiritual world; some touch on historical subjects, but most all are reflective, even world-weary.

(Dis)Arrangements 8: More Schubert
Schubert left no concertos, but we do have Liszt’s overstuffed quasi-symphonic Fantasy for piano and orchestra.

The Hemidemisemi-Monde
The Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher, his varied books and adventures, make solid fodder for a spectacle.
