April 1, 2015 The Getty Center, Los Angeles A lecture-concert organized by UCLA Professors Laure Murat (Department of French and Francophone Studies) and Guillaume Sutre (Music) combines visual presentation and musical performances to consider the concept of "late style." Is the concept relevant, since the artist does not know the hour of his or her death? How does one determine when "late style" begins? Could it be related to physiological changes such as J. M. W. Turner's declining vision or Beethoven's loss of hearing? The program explores these issues by drawing on philosophy, art criticism, and performance. Musical program: Franz Schubert, Swan song, n°4: “Serenade”, 1828 Franz Schubert, String Quintet in C major – II: Adagio, 1828 Ludwig van Beethoven, String Quartet n°14 op. 131 in C# minor – VII: Allegro, 1826 Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn, 5 lieder Op. 10 posth., n°5: “Mountain Pleasure”, 1847 Piano: Rosalind Wan Frédéric Chopin, Cello sonata in G Minor, Op. 65, B 160 – III: Largo , 1846 Jacques Offenbach, “The Birds in the Arbor”, The Tales of Hoffmann, 1881 Camille Saint-Saëns,“The Swan”, Carnival of the Animals, 1886 Presentation by Laure Murat.
