Performance Context

This capstone recital featured solo and chamber works across multiple eras. The Blavet Sonata highlighted ornamentation and phrasing in the French Baroque tradition. Arnold’s Divertimento required close chamber collaboration and dynamic contrast. Gaubert’s Fantaisie offered opportunities for tone color and Romantic expression, while the Martinů Sonata presented rhythmic complexity, range, and technical fluency.

Artistic Highlights

• Stylistic versatility across four centuries of repertoire
