RACH AND BACH GALA CONCERT

"MEASURE UP!"

In musical notation, a measure is a way of organizing the written music into small sections which correspond to a specific number of beats in each of these sections or measures.  There are 1373 combined measures (total) in the two piano concertos being played at ESU's gala concert:  Bach's Piano Concerto No. 5 in F Minor and Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2.
