Solo Piano with Lee Dionne: Debussy and Schumann

Hayes Street's solo piano series continues with a fantastically imaginative and colourful program of works by Schumann and Debussy: two wizards of the piano. Hear their influence on one another and how they each pushed the colors of the instrument and harmony. See why Schumann was the only early romantic to leave a lasting impression on Debussy.
