[FULLY SUBSCRIBED] Baroque Week: Bach for Pianists
15 August • 7:30pm
Conservatory Concert Hall
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Playing Bach on the piano has become only more controversial with time. While many in the early-music world consider the modern instrument wholly inappropriate for baroque music, the legendary András Schiff considers it an improvement over the harpsichord, and acclaimed artists such as Murray Perahia and Angela Hewitt have carved a niche for themselves as expert interpreters of Bach on the nine-foot concert grand. Bach himself was familiar with early fortepianos and contributed to their development.
In this session, Bach specialist Dr. Irwin Shung collaborates with harpsichordist Dr. Qin Ying Tan to discuss reasonable ways pianists today might adapt their instrument to the music of Bach, touching on pedaling, ornamentation, articulation, dynamics, Baroque dance, and other important elements.
