Acclaimed keyboardists, Anthony Newman and Mary Jane Newman, present two of the great Preludes and Fugues of J.S. Bach arranged for two pianos made by Franz Xaver Gleichauf (1801-1856) and thought to have been created for Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn  and two Fantasias of WA Mozart originally composed for mechanical organ housed in a lock and adapted from the earliest arrangements for piano duet published a few years after Mozart’s death.  In addition, Mr. Newman performs Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in E-flat major (built upon the hymn “St. Anne”) on the pipe organ, an instrument for which he is internationally renowned.
