Piano Duets

Add to my Calendar 24-05-2025 19:30 24-05-2025 21:30 36 Anita D'Attellis and David Alexander Wallingford Chamber Music present: The Variations on the St Anthony Chorale (a melody erroneously attributed to Haydn) which is better known as an orchestral work, but was originally written for two pianos and published by the composer in both versions. Anita and David are giving the world première of a new piece by Graham Lynch, Sinfonias and Saltimbanques which was commissioned by Anita. Stravinsky’s ballet, The Rite Of Spring, was first performed over a century ago. The riotous uproar that greeted its first stage performance with orchestra in Paris in 1913 has become one of the legends of music history, but the appearance of Stravinsky’s own, hardly less explosive version for two pianos, first performed by the composer and Claude Debussy in the Summer of 1912 seemed to pass with little comment.

Programme Note

Wallingford Chamber Music present:

The Variations on the St Anthony Chorale (a melody erroneously attributed to Haydn) which is better known as an orchestral work, but was originally written for two pianos and published by the composer in both versions.

Anita and David are giving the world première of a new piece by Graham Lynch, Sinfonias and Saltimbanques which was commissioned by Anita.

Stravinsky’s ballet, The Rite Of Spring, was first performed over a century ago. The riotous uproar that greeted its first stage performance with orchestra in Paris in 1913 has become one of the legends of music history, but the appearance of Stravinsky’s own, hardly less explosive version for two pianos, first performed by the composer and Claude Debussy in the Summer of 1912 seemed to pass with little comment.
