The piano in Vienna between classicism and romanticism on 12 July in Forlì
FORLÌ – Tuesday 12 July, in the context of Forlì Great Musicat 9.00 pm in Forlì at the San Domenico Arena, Jin Ju, ever-growing star on the international piano scene, presents the first century of the life of the piano with a concert entirely focused on three great composers, Beethoven, Schubert And Brahmsthat between the end of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century transformed the “rough” and harsh forte-piano into the gallant, energetic, refined and virtuoso piano.
Beethoven first with the Sonata almost a fantasy in C sharp minor (In the moonlight) op. 27 n. 2 published in 1801, he abandons a writing still centered on the forte-piano to go on to exalt the quality of the new piano. In fact, only with the mechanical system of the modern piano could he reach very delicate sounds for his famous adagio “Moonlight”. 27 years later, Franz Schubert composes three piano sonatas including the Sonata in C minor D 958. This will take up much of Beethoven’s piano lesson, and from the first time you can hear unmistakable references to Beethoven and also to the last Mozart. With the Seven Fantasies op. 116 of Johannes Brahms, a leap of sixty-four years is made: in the meantime the piano has improved technically and the composers have already made extreme use of it, seeking every expressive possibility. Brahms fetches here a lyrical pianism, very melodic, is partly linked to his myth Beethoven, with some of the pieces from op. 116 very inspired by Beethoven’s latest pianism.
