Programme:
Schumann. Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood) Op. 15
Interval
Liszt. Transcendental Études S139
Schumann’s “Kinderszenen” consists of thirteen miniatures, presenting an adult’s poetic reflection on the innocence and dreams of childhood. The movement titles were added later and serve merely as subtle guides from the composer for performance and interpretation.
Liszt’s “Transcendental Études” represent the advanced mathematics of pianism, challenging even the most technically secure young talents. As Liszt originally composed these works to showcase his own phenomenal abilities, performing them serves as a true test of maturity for a developing pianist, requiring the mastery of both physical demands and complex poetics.
Before the music begins, pianist Sten Heinoja and writer Valdur Mikita open the evening with an onstage discussion on “Virtuosity in Nature.”
Duration: approximately 2 h (with one interval)
