An Evening of Mozart: Wenqing Zhang’s Fortepiano Recital

Discover the beauty of Mozart’s music at Wenqing Zhang’s DMA Fortepiano Recital, hosted by Claremont Graduate University. This special event is an opportunity to experience the elegance and charm of the fortepiano—a historical predecessor to the modern piano—played by a masterful musician.


The recital showcases some of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most expressive works, reflecting his genius and versatility:


Sonata No.14 in C Minor, K. 457

  • I. Molto allegro

  • II. Adagio

  • III. Allegro assai


12 Variations on “Je suis Lindor” in E-flat major, K. 354/299a


Sonata No. 13 in B-flat Major, K. 333

  • I. Allegro

  • II. Andante cantabile

  • III. Allegro grazioso


This recital not only celebrates Mozart’s music but also highlights the unique tonal qualities of the fortepiano, which brings an authentic 18th-century sound to the performance.

Adding to the evening’s richness, Ming Chen’s thesis exhibition, "Re-Entry," will be on display in the East Gallery. The exhibit complements the recital, offering a multidisciplinary cultural experience for attendees.
