Trevor Stephenson
Park Hall, Sauk City 307 Polk St., Sauk City, Wisconsin 53583
Fortepianist Trevor Stephenson, director of the famed Madison Bach Musicians, will explore music in the key of C minor in a recital of piano works by Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. Considered too stormy and tragic for 18th-century tastes in entertainment, C minor wasn’t the key of choice for most composers, though Beethoven used it to his advantage in his fateful Fifth Symphony. The recital will be brightened by Mozart’s famous twinkle variations and Haydn’s comic Sonata in G major. Stephenson will perform on a replica five-octave Viennese-style fortepiano.
