PIANO HOUR - PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP
It has been a very long time - no one expected the pandemic to last as long as it has lasted already. When the lessons were all transferred to online formats in March 2020 the Piano Hours were put on hold. I waited to have these events in a normal live setting in a three-dimensional space with human presence. And after many disrupted attempts to organise a live Piano Hour again this year it has finally happened! As difficult as it is to motivate people to move as before it is worth it!
This time we had performances and discussions of works of Carl Czerny (from School of Mechanism), Ludwig Schytte (from Modern Studies Op. 68), John Field (Nocturnes), Ludwig van Beethoven (from Sonatas), Rachmaninov (Elegy) and Mendelssohn (from Lieder one Worte / Songs without Words) and more.
We are looking forward to the next Piano Hour which is meant to take place in December 2021. Announcements will follow.
