 arp minor\nBallade No. 3 in A-Flat Major\, Op. 47\nSchumann — Arabeske i
 n C Major\, Op. 18\nProkofiev — Piano Sonata No. 8 in B-Flat Major\, Op.
  84\n"Three towering voices of the piano repertoire (Frédéric Chopin\, R
 obert Schumann and Sergei Prokofiev) meet in this expansive program\, movi
 ng between luminous intimacy and monumental scale. Chopin opens with the b
 rooding Polonaise\, the shimmering Third Ballade\, and the Second Sonata\,
  whose famous funeral march anchors one of Romanticism's most dramatic wor
 ks. After intermission\, Schumann's Arabeske offers tender\, introspective
  lyricism\, before Prokofiev's wartime Eighth Sonata carries the Romantic 
 tradition of poetry and drama into the twentieth century\, revealing the d
 epth and breadth of the piano's voice\, from whispered confidences to over
 whelming force."\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n
