Concert series

From the pianist to the contemporary musician - The development of the pianist’s roles through classics of contemporary music

The concert series explores the development of the pianist’s role from the beginning of the Darmstadt school. It follows the change in the understanding of the piano, pianism and the pianist as a person and an interpreter during the past 70 years. The journey of three composers, Stockhausen, Boulez and Feldman, who all three inspired by the same Webern, took the music and the pianism into completely different directions.

Introduction to Karlheinz Stockhausen’s piano music - practical guide for a pianist

The goal is to explore Stockhausen’s piano music from an interpretation perspective identifying the main issues and challenges of the pieces. The practical guide will help young pianists not only to get familiar with Stockhausen’s piano pieces and the practice methods, but also give the tools to explore the contemporary music beyond that.
