Accent Series Features Pianist Alan Gosman
The University of Arkansas Department of Music presents Alan Gosman as part of the new Accent Faculty Performance Series. Join the department in a live premiere at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4, on YouTube. The concert was pre-recorded in Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall, and the concert link will remain active even after the premiere.
Alan Gosman is an associate professor of music theory, and this will be his first solo concert at the University of Arkansas. The program includes J.S. Bach's Italian Concerto (1735), Mozart's Piano Sonata in F Major, K. 332 (1783), and Brahms's Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24 (1861).
Gosman has published on Beethoven's sketchbooks and compositional process, musical form, canons, and links between performance and analysis. His work on Beethoven includes his book, Beethoven's "Eroica" Sketchbook: A Critical Edition, coauthored with Lewis Lockwood. During 2020, the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, his activities included presenting and helping to organize a conference at the Beethoven-Haus Bonn, as well as a collaboration on a Beethoven sketch reconstruction project with the composer Robert Levin that was performed in September by the WDR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Cristian Macelaru. A video of this project will be released in 2021.
At the University of Arkansas, he initiated Music75 and co-founded Live at the Five & Dime, a free weekly concert series from April to October.
Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Arkansas, Gosman was an associate professor at the University of Michigan, where he was the Director of Graduate Studies in Music Theory.
