Featured work will be the seldom-performed Edvard Grieg Piano Quintet in B flat Major, EG118. Michael Finnissy (b. 1946) completed the work in 2012, 120 years after Grieg laid down his pencil after 250 bars. From Finissy's pen we hear a development section consisting of a Scherzo: a Halling dance with imitation of music for Hardanger fiddle followed by a slow, more introverted section.
In the final section, built on Grieg's own material, themes previously presented by the strings appear in the piano part and vice versa. Voltersvik will open the concert with a pair of Peasant Dances from Op.72 and a Folk Song from Op.66 by Edvard Grieg, resonating with the Halling dance section of the Piano Quintet.
*This program is funded in part by Augustana University’s Mellon Fund Committee.
