Not many musicians command equal levels of both love and respect, but Clifford Benson (1946-2007) was one of that rare and select group. He was one of the most skilled, sympathetic and understanding of ensemble pianists. For many years students here at the Academy were privileged to be able to benefit from his vast experience through his teaching of piano accompanists and in his ensemble coaching. His generosity of spirit and his unique musical qualities are enormously missed by all those with whom he had contact. Tonight friends and colleagues present a programme of music composed, arranged, associated or especially enjoyed by Clifford.
這是一場紀念音樂會。
雖然不認識Clifford Benson (1945-2007)，光聽他創作的音樂就可以感受是個溫柔且幽默的人。
特別喜歡Mozart goes to Town，使用Mozart許多知名主題曲調以爵士風格加以串連，忽而出現小奏鳴曲忽而出現小夜曲，轉瞬變化非常有趣，全場笑聲不斷。
18 Variations on Twinkle Twinkle 則採用Rossini、Prokofiev、Elgar、Frere Jacques、Chopin、Mozart、Brahms等作曲家最具代表性的風格，以及Rapsody、Cantus Firmus、Scherzo、Canon、Waltz、Tango、Rag和Swingle等曲式加以變化，充滿幽默感呀~:D
強烈建議有機會可以找他的作品來聽聽看喔~
(當然這場的演出者們都大有來頭，就不多提了 XD)
