“My piano is my word, my life.” (
Franz Liszt) Having rapidly become the king of instruments in the 19th century, the piano has never lost its status. Versatile, it can be an orator, at once a potent and confident, flamboyant and poetic, feverish and lyrical. Its various facets are displayed here, from
Beethoven’s classicism, which was revolutionary, to
Gershwin’s jazzed up rhythms, with an obligatory detour through
Chopin’s disquieting romanticism,
Ravel’s fluidity, one of
Schubert’s perfect miniatures and an ageless passage by
Satie.
