Per Violino e Fortepiano

  • Harmonia Stellarum Houston 1311 Holman Street Houston, TX, 77004 United States (map)

As its name still implies, the piano was originally designed to play softly—an expressive instrument ideal for accompanying just a few others in intimate settings. This program, featuring concertmaster Manami Mizumoto, highlights the fortepiano’s early role in chamber music through sonatas and variations that reveal its dynamic subtlety and close dialogue with the violin.
