What would it be like to escape for a night and listen to the wonderful music that the Western Art Canon has to offer? For me, it was an amazing night listening to music I normally would not listen to, but now I might change that fact. The music this canon has to offer has shown me how to listen more actively and has also taught me how to engage more with music itself. The pieces that were performed were beautiful and I had a couple of favorites. My favorite was Carnaval, Opus 9 by Schumann. I also loved the venue that this recital took place in, Voertman Hall is gorgeous and it felt open and engaging with the audience. I loved the wood on the stage wall, everything looked so professional and classic to me. I think more people should give this canon a chance, they night be surprised like I was.

This is Carnaval by Schumann which like I said was my favorite piece.

I believe that not only is this music still relevant for today’s world, but it is also relevant for as long as time. ~ Valeria Groothuis

Chopin: Sonata No.3 in B minor, Op.58 (Fialkowska, Kapell)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Even among Chopin's late works, the op.58 B minor sonata stands out as a work whose greatness is particularly hard to parse. It is characterised, especially in the first movement, by contrapuntal complexity and harmonic density, and in the hands of a pianist whose grasp of its architecture is anything less than perfect it comes across as oddly unproportioned.

Every note was purposeful in that piece, it always sounded like it belonged, not that it was just placed there to finish a song. ~ Valeria Groothuis
