To mark the anniversary, an arc will be drawn from the classical period to the present day: Friedrich T. Fröhlich and Helena Winkelman will be celebrating. Among the well-wishers: Mozart & Beethoven. At the piano: Teo Gheorghiu.
About the program:
It's quite clear: music is made up of notes. At the center of this concert is the most common and perhaps also the most banal - C, the central key of every keyboard and the natural limit of our tonal scale (C2-c5). C major is often perceived as a key of cheerfulness, clarity, lightness and universality and is associated with joy, happiness and optimism. It is therefore not surprising that Mozart's most popular and best-known symphony in C major was subsequently nicknamed the "Jupiter Symphony": on the one hand due to the majestic aura and splendor of the music, and on the other due to the fact that this symphony is Mozart's last work in this genre. Music historians declared this work to be the crowning finale of Mozart's symphonies and attributed divine perfection to it - his work: radiant and flooded with light.
Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 also ends in a cheerful C major, but the predominant key of the work is C minor, which is often associated with a serious and sombre mood. This lends the music an atmosphere characterized by sadness, pensiveness and dramatic intensity, which nevertheless radiates power and strength. Mozart, whose Piano Concerto K. 491, which Beethoven greatly appreciated, is also in C minor, could have been the model for the choice of this key, which is the opposite of the radiant C major.
Inspired by the idea that trees can communicate with each other, Helena Winkelman has created music in "Tree Talk" that attempts to musically capture the relationship between these plants and the nature that surrounds them: Just as the tree is exposed to the passing of the seasons, Winkelman's piece changes timbres and movements as it plays with overtones. The solo cellos fan out the harmonic space, as it were, with their empty strings: A basic key cannot be established, but the sound constantly changes.
In contrast, the overture to Konrad Adolf Dyhrn's tragedy "Konradin" by the composer Friedrich Theodor Fröhlich once again focuses on C minor and, in combination with the other works, demonstrates the diversity and expressiveness of music. Starting from the key note C, musical spaces unfold that are capable of triggering a wide range of emotions: From melancholy sadness to radiant happiness.
