Anthony Piccolo, Pianist and Composer

As a pianist I gravitate toward chamber music, in which the sharing of the
sound spectrum is as great a pleasure as it is an absolute necessity. To some,
the piano’s sound is as black and white as its keyboard, but they must be
color-deaf.

Here is a list of some performances I have enjoyed playing.

Debussy “Six épigraphes antiques”
Peabody Conservatory, Baltimore, with Konrad Wolff and with Yves Tinayre, narrator

Erik Satie: solo and chamber music, including “Sports et Divertissements” and the 4-hand transcription of “Cinéma” played with
the René Clair film, National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington, D.C.

Solo, duet and duo works and transcriptions of Chabrier and Ravel,
including La valse, “Trois valses romantiques”, and the 8-hand
version of “España”, Washington, D.C., with Konrad Wolff
