Program: The Debussy/Second Viennese Axis
Claude Debussy was an inspiration for the composers known as the Second Viennese School: Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern. In an exciting hour-long program, pianist Jacob Greenberg draws unexplored comparisons between the master French sound colorist and these three brilliant Austrians who forged their own different, but equally revolutionary, path.

Arnold Schoenberg: Piano Pieces, op. 23
