Professor Rita Dove, author of Sonata Mulattica, and Former Poet Laureate of the United States and Consultant to the Library of Congress, writes:
Dear Bill Zick, Thank you so much for sharing this link. (And thank you also for
supporting "Sonata Mulattica" over the past six years!) I remain deeply
interested in George Bridgetower, so the news of the Kreutzer being
paired with a composition dedicated to the violinist
who served as Beethoven's original inspiration for his sonata is a
lovely constellation indeed.
For your information, here's a link to the Bridgetower film project that is currently in the works: http://sparkmedia.org/projects/sonata-mulattica/
With all good wishes,
Rita Dove
