Late Night: Shorts

By Mahan Esfahani, Daria van den Bercken, Yeol Eum Son

The Piano Biennial opened with the oldest and newest piano concertos. In the years separating those two works, innumerable exciting pieces have been written for our favorite instrument – plenty to fill a whole Biennial. 

During this late-night concerto, three world-class pianists will play their favorite groundbreaking short pieces. The program consists of pieces that revolutionized music history, pieces that exemplify new musical languages. How about Debussy’s innovative abundance of colors, Liszt’s incomparable virtuosity, or a starring part for the glissando on the rather angular keys of a grand piano? Shorts, from baroque to today!
