Dmitri Shostakovich: The Gadfly - #12 Tarantella
| 20. 1955 | Dmitri Shostakovich:
The Gadfly - #12 Tarantella (arr. Kenneth Cooper & Gena
Raps, 2000). Gena Raps, piano; Kenneth Cooper, harpsichord. Harpsichord unidentified. Kerrytown Concert Hall, Ann Arbor, MI (1/23/2000). In the film The Gadfly, the Italian rebels mount a Tarantella to distract the Austrians, who are about to invade their quarters. I played this exuberant dance on a piano-harpsichord program in 2000 with my high-school pal, Gena Raps, now a celebrated pianist and faculty member at the (New School) Mannes College of Music. |
