Alfred Brendel "Viewpoints on Music"
Legendary pianist Alfred Brendel shares his viewpoint on music with students and the general public as a lecturer and musical coach in his first New York residency since retiring from the concert stage. Two public programs frame a four-day educational residency based at Juilliard and presented by Juilliard in partnership with Carnegie Hall. Alfred Brendel discusses Light and Shade of Interpretation to open his residency on Thursday, November 19 at 6 PM in Juilliard's Peter Jay Sharp Theater (155 West 65th Street). He focuses on performance practice, interpretation, and the process of approaching the work of particular composers and will perform examples on the piano. These ideas are put into practice in a chamber music concert featuring works by Schubert on Sunday, November 22 at 2 PM, also in The Peter Jay Sharp Theater, programmed and coached especially by Mr. Brendel, featuring musicians of Juilliard and The Academy - a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education.
The program for the November 22 features works by Schubert: Der Schiffer, D. 536 (Mayrofer), Nachtstück, D 672 (Mayrofer), and Wilkommen und Abschied, (first version) D. 767 (Goethe) with tenor Paul Appleby and pianist Natalia Katyukova; Impromptu No. 3 in B-flat Major, D. 935 with pianist Naomi Kudo; Piano Trio in E-flat 'Notturno,' D. 897 with pianist Gregory DeTurck, violinist Joanna Frankel, and cellist Saeunn Thorsteinsdottir; from Three Klavierstücke, D. 946 with pianist Angelina Gadeliya; and Der Hirt auf dem Felsen, D. 965 (Müller) with soprano Devon Guthrie, clarinetist Moran Katz, and pianist Erika Switzer. Mr. Brendel will be coaching the musicians at Juilliard on November 18, 20, and 21 for the November 22 concert.
