| Powell Music Evening Concert Katharina Brand, Fortepiano and Clavichord Friday, April 21 7:30-8:30pm |
||
| Katharina Olivia Brand performed variation works and sonatas by Beethoven, Haydn, C.P.E. Bach and Mozart on a replica of a 1797 Anton Walter fortepiano and a replica of a mid-18th century clavichord. The compositions find their true counterpart in these instruments: their sensitive sound production and potential for clear articulation gave the audience the opportunity to gain further insight into 18th-century musical thinking, especially the style of these Viennese composers. |
