Keyboard Studies

Overview

Pianists, organists and harpsichordists who want to shine on the international concert stage must demonstrate flawless technical mastery of their instrument and a deep knowledge of the repertoire. The top priority at the Department of Keyboard Studies is to provide students with the best possible preparation for a career as an instrumentalist. If they wish, students can also specialise in chamber music, Lied interpretation, applied piano skills, fortepiano or piano pedagogy.

Spotlight on: Fanny Hensel - Klavierzyklus „Das Jahr“

Klavierstudierende der Universität Mozarteum widmen sich dem groß angelegten Klavierzyklus „Das Jahr“, in dem Fanny Hensel die Eindrücke ihrer Italienreise in einen musikalischen Kalender voller poetischer Stimmungsbilder verwandelte. In fein nuancierten Klangfarben und charaktervollen Miniaturen entfaltet sich ein vielschichtiges Panorama der Jahreszeiten zwischen Intimität, Virtuosität und atmosphärischer Dichte. Ergänzt wird der Abend durch einen Vortrag von Beatrix Borchard.
