Claire Huangci:
Made in USA



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.

Berg was more connected to the 19th century and always sounds the most Romantic of the three.
