Artemusica culture: "romance and beyond"-concert by the pianist Thomas Schwan

"Romanticism and beyond"-concert by the pianist Thomas Schwan-music by Schumann, Debussy, Chopin, Ravel, Rachmaninov

A concert truly not to be missed is the one organized from Monday July 25 Artemusica culture, at 21.00, sala Santa Giustina di Roana.
Pianist Thomas Schwan, boasting an international career, will be the star of the evening, featuring music by Schumann, Debussy, Chopin, Ravel, Rachmaninov.

The pianist will present some of the greatest masterpieces of piano literature in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Starting from the Three Romances op. 28 by Schumann, dedicated in private to his beloved wife Clara and certainly among the most elegiac creations of German composer, you will go directly to Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau , gentle and dreamy Impressionist painting, and in Ravel's La Valse , grandiose evocation of the late viennese waltz and a Europe now waned with the first world war. The second part of the concert approached the enigmatic Chopin's Polonaise-fantasy and philosophy to some pieces by Rachmaninov, including the famous Prelude op. 3 No. 2, the tragic Étude-Tableau op. 39 no. 5 and the joyous Prelude op. 32 # 13, the latter among the most monumental and challenging solo works of the great Russian writer.
