Fortepiano Festival: Chopinissimo
Edoardo Torbianelli (Basel), teachers and students play on a fortepiano copy after Conrad Graf (ca. 1830), piano works, vocal and chamber music by Frederic Chopin. The Chopin Marathon brings together rarely heard compositions by Chopin, arrangements by his musician friends (e.g. songs by Pauline Viardot on Chopin's Mazurkas), his 1st Piano Concerto with string quartet accompaniment, songs and chamber music, as well as today's well-known "highlights" such as all four ballads.
Chopinissimo! Two days offer a wonderfully eclectic program from the early classical period to the romantic period, featuring multiple fortepianos to showcase the diverse sounds of the era. You will hear piano, chamber and vocal music by Frederic Chopin - with teachers, alumni and students of the Department of Keyboard Instruments as well as Edoardo Torbinanelli (Basel) as guest speaker
