  This lecture-recital will introduce Brazilian composer Almeida Prado’s Noturnos for solo piano. Prado continued the long history of the piano nocturne and preserved many of the essential qualities of this genre while bringing the nocturne into the last decade of the 20th century. These nocturnes feature the lyricism and expressivity typically associated with the genre while exploring rich a pianistic sonority, pandiatonicism, and rhythmic complexity informed by Brazilian folk idioms.
