Programme Details
Curated by Joanna MacGregor, this year’s Autumn Piano Festival closes its multi-year project of Robert Schumann’s complete works for solo piano, performed by Academy pianists – over 17 hours of some of the greatest and most original piano music ever composed.
From much-loved masterpieces – the epic first and third piano sonatas, Novelletten and Davidsbündlertänze, an expression of Schumann’s passionate love – to rarely played later works inspired by Clara Wieck and his family, this is a unique chance to immerse yourself in the intricate world of music’s visionary poet.
