Jakob Fichert: A 21st Century View on Liszt
Exploring the impact Liszt’s writing has on music written in the 21st century
Add to my Calendar 14-04-2019 14:30 14-04-2019 16:30 36 Jakob Fichert: A 21st Century View on Liszt Jakob Fichert says "Revered for his revolutionary approach to piano technique, Liszt was equally innovative as a composer, inspiring the likes of Ravel, Bartok and Ligeti. Liszt’s music keeps influencing the composers of today, and the popularity of his piano works continues to soar. This event therefore aims to explore the impact Liszt’s writing has on music written in the 21st century" Jakob Fichert has commissioned three composers of highly differing styles and approaches to write commentaries on Années de Pèlerinage, Deuxième Année: Italie, S 161. As Liszt invited his contemporaries to "listen in new ways", Jakob Fichert presents a fresh perspective on this seminal work through these three contemporary voices. Join Jakob on a grand tour through this imaginative, musical landscape as he throws new light on this evergreen opus with poetic master strokes. Besbrode Piano Shop, Leeds DD/MM/YYYYDetails
