Hanoi (VNA) – German pianistBoris Schönleber will perform pieces written by two German composers RichardWagner (1813-1883), Robert Schumann (1810-1856), and Austrian composer HugoWolf (1860-1903) at Goethe Institute on March 12.

Following his previous performance at Goethe Institute in 2014, Schönleber seesthis return as an opportunity to play again for a Vietnamese audience.

Schönleber’s performances will include Fantasie op17 and Kreisleriana op 16, two of the most popular pieces bySchumann.

Fantasie op 17 is a passionate and exciting piece which revolves aroundthe mental torments that Schumann suffered in his mid-twenties, when he hadjust confessed his love to his future wife Clara while her father – who wasalso Schumann’s piano teacher – tried to bring the budding romance to an end.His fear of losing his beloved one led the composer into depression. Schumannwrote to Clara, “The first movement (of Fantasie) may well be the mostpassionate I have ever composed – a deep lament for you.”

During his tour of Vietnam, Boris Schönleber will play several concerts inHanoi and HCM City on March 19, respectively. Together with Katharina Padrok(mezzo soprano) and Sebastian Myrus (tenor) he will perform parts of the Italiansongbook by Hugo Wolf. In Hanoi, the trio will be accompanied on stage by twodancers from the Hanoi Dance Academy.

Free tickets for the show can be taken from Nguyen Thi Phuong Lan, tel: 097 5398935, email: phươnglanlinh11@gmail.com and Goethe Institute,56-56 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Ba Dinh District. – VNA
