<strong>Music</strong> <strong>Preference</strong> 31<br />

21-80, 53% indicated that they had taken no music classes at a college or university; 25% had<br />

taken 1-5 years of music classes at a college or university; 19% had taken 6-10 years of such<br />

classes; <strong>and</strong> 4% had taken more than 10 years of music classes at a college or university (n = 57).<br />

Audience members were asked to report the number of years they had taken private<br />

instrumental or vocal music lessons. Data was tabulated for the number of years of private study<br />

on respondents' main musical instrument (the instrument with the most years of private study).<br />

Thirty-six audience members did not respond to this question; many of these probably had no<br />

private lessons. Of those who responded to the question, no private music lessons (zero years)<br />

were indicated by 8%; 1-3 years of private music lessons were indicated by 33%; 4-6 years were<br />

indicated by 24%; 7-9 years were indicated by 12 percent; <strong>and</strong> 10-25 years were indicated by<br />

20% (n = 86).<br />

The performer of these concerts had a local, rather than a national or international<br />

reputation, <strong>and</strong>, as the demographic data suggest, group RA may be representative of audiences<br />

at local or community concerts rather than the audiences of high profile, highly marketed events<br />

featuring musical artists of national or international prominence.<br />

Programs<br />

<strong>Music</strong>al repertoire for the programs was selected from the pianist's active recital repertoire.<br />

Repertoire consisted of these four works:<br />

1. J.S. Bach: Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother<br />

2. Beethoven: Fantasy, Op. 77<br />

3. Liszt: Funérailles<br />

4. Schuman: Carnaval
