There’s something undeniably mysterious about music. Like how a youngster might be drawn to the piano even through no one else in his family is especially musical. Or how composers converse across the decades and centuries, their ideas seemingly traveling forward and backward through time. Or just how certain aspects of any given piece of music defy being expressed in words.
Israeli-American pianist Inon Barnatan will pose such questions in his solo recital set for 3 p.m. Sunday at Walk Festival Hall in Teton Village, the first in a new three-part Sunday Matinee Piano Recital series from the Grand Teton Music Festival.
“…I like conversations that happen between centuries. The recital in the Grand Tetons will be a reflection of that. It’s shaking us a little away from music as music in pieces, and to see how a lot of these pieces came out of improvisation.”
