Dr. Andrew Willis

Dr. Andrew Willis (Music) will give a rare complete performance of the “Six Partitas” (1731) by J. S. Bach on an unusual instrument – a replica of a Baroque piano similar to those Bach played. The concert will be this Saturday, Sept. 21,  in the Organ Recital Hall in the Music Building with three sections that begin at 1:30, 3, and 4:15 p.m. The concert is the culminating presentation of Willis’ research into the performance of this repertoire, and the performance of all six Partitas retraces the voyage of exploration that produced some of Bach’s most sophisticated writing for the keyboard.
