Piano recital Silvia Harnisch
Overview
Intro
Pianist Silvia Harnisch presents a varied program with works from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods.
The prelude is formed by the chorale prelude: "Ich ruf' zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ" and the brilliant Toccata and Fugue in D major, a youthful composition by J.S. Bach. After the "Moonlight Sonata" by Ludwig van Beethoven, the next part is dedicated to water.
Fréderic Chopin is represented with the "Wellenetüde" and the "Regentropfen-Prélude", Claude Debussy with the tone-painting pieces "Clair de lune" and "Jardins sous la pluie", which reflect the rich spectrum of colors and the play of water.
The final piece is the tone painting by Franz Liszt: "Les jeux d' eaux", an outstanding musical representation of the rushing of springs, cascades and fountains, which testifies to the composer's genius for expression.
It is characteristic of Liszt that at a key point in the work he includes a quotation from the Gospel of John with the words of Jesus: "The water that I give him will become a spring of eternal life". (John 4:14)
