The festive Chorale Prelude of Bach, the ardent, vivacious Sonata Opus 78 of Beethoven (for Therese), and the zesty, tuneful Roumanian Dances, dreamy Bagatelles, and humorous, lyrical Rondo in C of the one of the 20th century's great composers, Bela Bartok.

Some of these venues have been presenting KEYBOARD CONVERSATIONS for more than thirty years - resounding testimony to Jeffrey Siegel's superb artistry, innovative format and loyal fans.
