Pianist Jang Eun will perform a solo recital at Suseong Artpia in Daegu, South Korea, on May 29, as part of the "Suseong Renaissance Project – Young Artist Recital Series." The performance features a program centered on Russian piano repertoire, tracing musical development from 19th-century Romanticism to 20th-century modernism, including Mussorgsky’s complete suite, "Pictures at an Exhibition."
Program Highlights and Musical Scope
The recital is structured to follow the "Promenade" motif found in Mussorgsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition," serving as a narrative thread for the evening. According to Suseong Artpia, the program explores the evolution of Russian piano music across two distinct parts:
- Part 1: Jang will perform Alexander Scriabin’s "Two Poems, Op. 32," which are noted for their delicate structure, followed by Sergei Prokofiev’s "Piano Sonata No. 4 in C minor." The selection of the Prokofiev sonata highlights the composer’s focus on structural density and tension.
