And another interesting program. Many of you may have heard Liszt's "Consolation," which is a quiet and somewhat familiar piece. Janacek's "Piano Sonata" is a mixture of all kinds of emotions, and will move all five senses. And everyone has heard Debussy's "Moonlight". It is one of the most frequently heard pieces in TV commercials and dramas. And Prokofiev's "Satire," a difficult and challenging piece. The harmony and rhythm of this piece will naturally draw the audience in, even though they are not familiar with the tune. Please take this opportunity to come and experience the piano performance of a competition gold medal winner.
