Kikuko Ogura 《The World of Fortepiano》 17th Unofficial
Mendelssohn, A Journey of the Heart - Piano Pavilions on the famous Streicher instrument
2026/05/05(Tu.) 13:30 Starting
Mendelssohn's wide-ranging charms are innumerable, including the beautiful melody of his song "On Wings of Song," the fairy world of his incidental music "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and the deeply melancholy symphony "Scotland. He is a painter at the highest level when he holds a paintbrush, speaks several languages, plays the violin with great skill, and his piano playing was acclaimed by the great writer Goethe as "beyond the level of a miracle. Although he grew up in a wealthy family and seems to have had a smooth sailing life, his music may not have been properly appreciated. In this concert, he will perform a selection of piano gems, including "Rondo Capriccioso," which spreads beautiful emotions, "Three Fantasias," which depicts the nature of Wales, "Scottish Sonata," which was inspired by a trip to Scotland, and "Strict Variations," which combines the writing style of Baroque music with the Romantic school. The Viennese virtuoso J.B. Streicher will perform these pieces on fortepiano. Please enjoy Mendelssohn's "Journey of the Heart" to your heart's content, along with a talk by Hiromi Hoshino, who is full of love for Mendelssohn.
