Claire Huangci

Piano recital by Claire Huangci at the Palau de la Música Catalana, featuring Frédéric Chopin's four ballades and works by Fanny Hensel, Florence Price and George Gershwin.

The recital brings together Frédéric Chopin's four ballades, numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, alongside works by Fanny Hensel and Florence Price. From Hensel, a selection from Das Jahr and the Capriccio H247 are included, while from Price the Fantasia negra 2 in G minor is performed. The running order alternates Chopin's ballades with the pieces by Hensel and Price, so that each ballade is separated from the next by a work by another composer.

The programme closes with George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Claire Huangci performs all the pieces on the piano, in a programme that combines the Romantic repertoire with works by composers from another tradition.
