Claire Huangci:
American music is a melting pot of musical styles and influences. However, Claire Huangci sees a prevalent trait connecting them all – a daring spirit and freshness, a defiance of traditions, and rejuvenation in musical form and sound. It is represented here by Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, Amy Beach's Variations on Balkan Themes, Barber's Piano Sonata, and Earl Wild's Etudes after Gershwin.

Elisabeth Leonskaja:
Of the triumvirate of composers known as the Second Viennese School, Schoenberg wrote the most frequently for the piano. Alban Berg and Anton Webern were his most gifted pupils. Webern’s obsessive devotion to Schoenberg led him to adopt the twelve-note system even more rigorously than his mentor. Berg was more connected to the 19th century and always sounds the most Romantic of the three.
