A Keyboard Tale for Christmas Eve – from harpsichord to piano
On Christmas Eve I will once again perform at Den-en Café Wild Berry in Itoshima. The first half opens on the harpsichord with French and German music of the 17th and 18th centuries, followed by Chopin on the café’s Bösendorfer piano. The second half features Clara Schumann and the young Brahms’s Piano Sonata No. 1.
Special guest: the young pianist Daichi Matsuda (12). The concert is combined with a Christmas dinner.
