The festive Chorale Prelude of Bach, the ardent, vivacious Sonata Opus 78 of Beethoven (for Therese), and the zesty, tuneful Roumanian Dances, dreamy Bagatelles, and humorous, lyrical Rondo in C of the one of the 20th century's great composers, Bela Bartok.

In addition to his solo appearances, Jeffrey Siegel presents KEYBOARD CONVERSATIONS, a unique, concert-plus-commentary format in which he speaks to the audience about the music before performing each work in its entirety. Newcomers to classical concerts have greeted these programs enthusiastically, as they present an informal, accessible and highly entertaining introduction to the vast repertoire of the piano and to classical music in general. Mr. Siegel has also developed a following among seasoned music-lovers, who are constantly enlightened by his erudition and delighted by his wit. Ongoing series flourish in numerous American cities, among them New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Phoenix, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Dallas, Washington, D. C. and Denver. Some of these venues have been presenting KEYBOARD CONVERSATIONS for more than thirty years - resounding testimony to Jeffrey Siegel's superb artistry, innovative format and loyal fans. Following the successful reception of KEYBOARD CONVERSATIONS in the United Kingdom, they continued in April and May 2012 at London's dynamic, newest arts complex, Kings Place.
