Nello specchio di Rossini - In the mirror of Rossini
Overview
Intro
Gioacchino Rossini | Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy | Franz Schubert
Arthur and Lucas Jussen probably started practicing their fingers in the baby carriage. Their mother reports that the brothers played the piano in sync even as small children. She couldn't tell which of her sons was playing which instrument. Today, their virtuoso playing and charming demeanor conquer and inspire the great concert halls of the world. Felix Mendelssohn's Concerto for Two Pianos is the stroke of genius of a 14-year-old composer. He gave it to his sister Fanny for her 18th birthday and played it together with her at the premiere. Franz Schubert's 6th Symphony, often referred to as the "Little C major", marks an interesting turning point in his oeuvre. Rossini fever had broken out in Vienna at this time. This refers to the enthusiasm for operas such as "Il barbiere di Seviglia" and the so-called Rossini roll. This means that the music is getting faster and louder. The audience reacted euphorically to this effect. Schubert was also enthusiastic, which is also reflected in his 6th Symphony.
