Dana School of Music Graduate Student Tim Webb World Premiering his A Spritz O'Sprezzatura with Robert Thorndike on percussion

PROGRAM NOTES: A Spritz O'Sprezzatura is the world premiere of a jazz and reggae paraphrase of an austere, hyper-stretto fugue in B-flat minor from the second book of the Well-Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach. This reworking includes all of the notes in Bach's original version, but with different rhythmic details, and a few additional notes. — Notes by the Composer, edited by Gwyneth Rollin
