For Four Hands

About this place

The very first composition in his catalogue of works, the three-movement Fantasy for piano four hands in G major, Franz Schubert wrote at the tender age of 13. In his final year, 1828, he also composed the multi-layered Fantasy in F minor and the Allegro in A minor called « Lebensstürme », major works for this form. At his Schubertiades, Schubert himself sat at the piano with a friend to perform his cheerful marches and polonaises, as well as the multi-layered fantasies, in a private salon. In Klosters, Sir András Schiff will devote himself to this varied repertoire, not often heard, together with the prize-winning pianist Chloe Jiyeong Mun. « Schubert’s music is the most human I know – and the most personal », says Schiff. In doing so, he reveals his deep personal connection to this composer, which will also be felt for four hands. This concert is supported by an anonymous donation.
