Études
Pianist Lindsay Garritson
An étude, translated as “study” is a musical composition designed to provide practice material for perfecting a particular technical skill, and the tradition of writing études emerged in the early 19th century with the growing popularity of the piano. From a simple, pedagogical origin, études then flourished in the 19th century into concert repertoire.
Many of the most famous composers wrote études, namely Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff. Pianist Lindsay Garritson, a professor at the University of Central Florida will be our guide for the evening, having performed at worldwide venues such as Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
