Following is the full-age ad to appear in the souvenir booklet for the
96th annual convention of the National Association for Negro Musicians:
ADAGIO IN F MINOR FOR PIANO
by the Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799)
celebrated Black composer, violinist, and Europe's champion fencer, edited from the original manuscript by Dominique-René de Lerma
The
finest of the piano works by this Créole composer: an elegantly stated
bittersweet melody demanding a subtle and expressive interpretation, a
very sensitive work, suitable for young musicians, yet in the
repertoires of Natalie Hinderas, Raymond Jackson, Maria Thompson Corley,
Eric Conway, and Richard C. Alston.
