With his new series “THE PIANO ROOM”, Andreas Klein offers a look at the composer’s scores and inherent challenges for classical pianists. With suggestions and comments about sound, phrasing, pedaling, practicing and memorization. And with a special focus on imagination!
The series “Before the Concert” is an introduction to various pieces exploring their historic context, the composer’s style and inspiration, and the inherent tasks for the pianist as interpreter. The first video starts with an introduction to various pieces of a theme-oriented recital by pianist Andreas Klein’s which represent stylistic changes and the composers’ new approach to old forms: sonatas and suites.
Pianist Andreas Klein explores the pianistic and artistic features of all the 5 Piano Concerti’s cadenzas of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) in first movements in the series “Beethovens Improvisations”. The first video covers the cadenza of the first movement “Allegro con brio” of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major.
