Piano Concerto, op.7, A minor - Clara Schumann
Vijay Venkatesh, piano
Symphony No.3, op.97, E-flat major (Rhenish) - Robert Schumann
With Vijay Venkatesh at the piano and Repper on the podium, this dynamic duo will delight you with
Clara Schumann’s piano concerto. Friends since childhood, Venkatesh and Repper were neighbors and
took piano lessons from the same teacher. Clara Schumann was a child prodigy, completing her concerto
and then performing it at just 14 years old. “It is a work with memorable themes and a sunny vision
throughout." (Quote - Steve Arloff) The other half of the Schumann duo, Robert was inspired to write his
Symphony No.3 after a trip to the Rhineland with his wife Clara. This journey was a happy and peaceful
trip. He incorporated elements of the journey and portrayed other experiences from his life in the music.
The tunes from both Schumanns are sure to stick in head, be it the incredibly virtuosic concerto
or the sunny and dancelike symphony!
