Perfomance Progame Notes/Introductions

Featured Replies

I'm having, and i always had, trouble with introducing a piece of music before a performance.

I don't have any ideas on what to say apart from the composer's name and the title of the piece, but my teacher is always telling me that I need to say more than just that - give some facts about the piece or something like that. Anyways, can anyone help me with writing an introduction for the following pieces:

BACH - Prelude and Fuge XXI

BEETHOVEN - Adagio con molto espressione (MVT. 2 from sonata 11 Op. 22)

CHOPIN - Waltz Opus 69 no. 1

DEBUSSY - Golliwogg's cakewalk

:D

Thanx

Why? Perhaps in a printed program you may want to give some details - when it was composed, circumstances surrounding that....let people read it on their own. I hate it when performers talk too much...
