Ein musikalischer Präzedenzfall. Par MATTER MICHAEL. Heutzutage würde man wohl von einem „Hype' sprechen: Als der unbekannte dänische Komponist Niels W. Gade Anfang der 1840er-Jahre seine ersten symphonischen Werke in Leipzig präsentiert, brandet ihm unverhofft Enthusiasmus entgegen. Maßgeblichen Anteil daran hat die spezifische Wahrnehmung seiner Musik, der Robert Schumann einen „entschieden nord…

Par TIPPETT MICHAEL SIR. Like Robert Schumann who often favoured the horn, Sir Michael Tippett who died on 8 January 1998 makes full use of the instrument‘s tonal possibilities in this work.

Although I never had any 'official' lessons with him, Heinz Holliger has become and will always remain a lifelong teacher to me. And we have developed a friendship that started 10 years ago, in Davos, where he heard me playing Robert Schumann's Fantasiestücke Op. 73 for the first time. Since then, we have performed together countless times, stood on (and behind) the stage, discussed, philosophized…

This set is dedicated to Auguste Auspitz-Kolár, a pianist whom Zelenski could have met on …

This volume presents easy pieces for piano by great virtuosos. It unites the two greatest, and perhaps best-known, pianists of the 19th century, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt.

The ability to play an original composition by Liszt in the first years of lessons can be ver…
