With Music by Schumann, Ravel and Beethoven.
In Da Nang on March 18 at 8 PM friends of classical piano music will get their money’s worth: In a varied program German pianist Hinrich Alpers will play works by Robert Schumann (1810-1856), Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) and Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) and guides the audience through a century of western European piano tradition.
Hinrich Alpers introduces the evening with Robert Schumann‘s
Kinderszenen, op. 15: The cycle is made of 13 short pieces, which reflects the for this epoche characteristic desire of the lost world of childhood. Subsequently Alpers plays the
Sonatine of the French composer Maurice Ravel. It includes three movements and can come across as a tribute to the musical elegance of the late 18th century. The last piece of the program is Beethoven‘s Piano
Sonata No. 21 (op. 53) – also known as
Waldstein sonata, after his friend and first sponsor Graf Waldstein. The Sonata changes between energetic, gloomy and dainty sounds and amusingly let die away the varied evening.
