PIECES IMPROMPTUES

PIECES IMPROMPTUES

George Enescu hardly admits of easy stylistic labeling- which is what makes his piano music so special and interesting. As might be expected, we repeatedly hear reminiscences of his native Romania. However, since he studied under Massenet and Faure and counted Ravel and Koechlin among his fellow pupils, it is not surprising that French influence is also very audible. Sina Kloke has selected the Pieces Impromptues and the Suite No. 2 for her challenging debut program. The young pianist introduces herself with a fine feel for the music’s special colors and phenomenal virtuosity. Although Enescu’s instrument was the violin, he had a remarkable command of piano composition and stages a fireworks show of tone colors on the keyboard. At the same time, he challenges the pianist with full chords, intricately detailed polyphony, and complex rhythms requiring superior piano technique and a special feel for the tonal qualities of the folkloric elements.
