NOTES ON THE PROGRAM
Florestan and Magister Raro are
characters found in
Schumann’s piano
character pieces.
Florestan is the wild,
free tune that perhaps
needs to be put in itsplace. Magister Raro
(Schumann’s alter
ego) is the wise,
controlling voice that
made sense of the
proceedings. Quick
cuts and tiny quotes(mainly Schumann
and Messiaen reflect
the quick-cutting,
hyperactive attention spans of television,especially cartoons.
