Programme 40: about Music: The Art of Listening: Musical Fingerprints – Part 5

--:--
In the next programme in the series, we are looking at Musical Fingerprints Part 5.
What are these?

These are the unique characteristics of individual composers, instruments, periods of music, musical styles and specific compositional types that an observant listener will immediately identify.
Today we look at Keyboard music of the Piano in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Even if you already know this, join me anyway for music by Debussy, Ravel, Schoenberg, Bartok and Schumann.

Any questions or comments, you are welcome to write to me at: brian@gsaradio.stream
