Piano notes. Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
Description
Ronald Brautigam, internationally respected musician, remarkable not only for his virtuosity and musicality but also for the eclectic nature of his musical interests, presents a history of piano music. Brautigam discusses and performs a specific piano piece from composers including Scarlatti, JS Bach, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. In each film he demonstrates not only his skill as a pianist but his insightful and humorous knowledge of musical history.
