A short piano recital at lunchtime? What a great idea! Especially since admission is free. An opportunity to discover two works by two Russian composers as proposed by Martin Karlicek, professor of piano at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University. Dreams is a cycle of six pieces composed by Smetana in 1875 while he was losing his hearing. Sonata No. 2, composed at the end of the war in 1945, is the most important piece in Kabalevsky’s keyboard repertoire
