In New York, the two had struck up a friendship before Dunbar set off in 1924 for Europe, where he studied and performed for over a decade. A student of renowned musicians like the conductor Felix Weingartner and the clarinetist Louis Cahuzac, he was steeped in the world of European art music. But he was also a committed Black activist. Running in the same circles as Black Marxists and Pan-Africanists like George Padmore, Dunbar had long made plain his loathing of white supremacy, whether in the form of Nazism or British imperialism. In fact, he’d already performed Still’s “Afro-American Symphony” for its European debut a few years earlier, […]

Insight on historical accuracy versus modern performances of articulation was also addressed. William Bolcom’s Concerto, Movement II was next and was played quite delicately with its long and beautiful phrases. To help achieve more fluidity, Merrer encouraged the performer to play as a singer. Connections between the large leaps improved greatly!
