| Schumannhaus, Bonn, Sebastianstraße 182, 53313 Bonn, Germany Sunday 15-Sep-13 11:00am Beautiful Sounds from the Past Winner of 1st prize at the Musica Antiqua competition, Bruges 2013 (Fortepiano)
The fortepiano, which was in widespread use in Beethoven’s time, has now virtually disappeared from the concert-hall. This is a pity, for it can produce sound nuances the modern piano is incapable of. At the 2013 Internationale Wedstrijd Musica Antiqua in Bruges, the fortepiano is at the focus of artistic interest. Young musicians are still specializing in this instrument – the prizewinner in Bruges, who will be chosen on 8 August, will be playing works composed during the heyday of this instrument, and we shall have an opportunity to hear them as the composers intended. Joint event with the Schumannfest Bonn. Image credit: Schumannhaus © Ilja Hoepping, Internet Programme to include: Works by Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770-1827) | ||
