DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Mid-Columbia\nLocation: Zoom\, for access please contact Rebecca Gooch\nPresenter: Dr. Crystal Zimmerman[expand title=”Read Presenter Bio” swaptitle=” “]Crystal is professor of piano at Willamette University where she teaches class piano\, individual piano lessons\, as well as courses in music technology. At Willamette\, she is also staff accompanist and coordinator of the accompanying program. She frequently performs in collaborative\, chamber music\, and solo recitals as well as being pianist in the Salem Chamber Orchestra.

Her most recent publication is the FJH Masterpiece Anthology–Women Composers.[/expand] \nProgram Description: This lecture will explore fascinating but lesser-known repertoire choices for the intermediate level pianist.[expand title=”Read More” swaptitle=” “]These compositions are similar to Robert Schumann’s Album for the Young\, Op. 68\, ranging in length from one to three pages and are technically accessible for the intermediate student. She will discuss the character pieces from the middle of the nineteenth century\, around the time of Schumann and the impetus behind the explosion of “Albums for the Young” during this time. She will play pieces from Schumann’s Op. 68 and demonstrate comparable/alternate suitable works by other composers such as Mosonyi\, Kullak\, Heller\, Gade\, Godard\, Karganov\, Kiel\, Köhler\, Kirchner\, and Gurlitt. Many of the pieces have programmatic titles; it is this “character” element that can be a powerful creative stimulus for the student. She has found that\, for younger students especially\, engaging imagination in response to the images and emotions suggested by the title\, can create truly magical learning experiences.[/expand]
