Tom Beghin fortepiano master class Presented by Liszt Academy

“With two instruments side-by-side (the 1803 Erard Frères, brought especially from the Orpheus Institute in Belgium, and a ca. 1800 Anton Walter, of the Liszt Academy), we will explore Viennese vs. French pianism.  I especially invite performances of Beethoven’s middle-period works like his “Tempest” Op. 31 No. 2, “Mondschein” Op. 27 No. 2, “Waldstein,” Op. 53, Op. 54, or “Appassionata” Op. 57.  French works (max. 5 ½ octaves, from FF to c4) by Louis Adam, Hélène de Montgeroult, or Daniel Steibelt would be superb, if you happen to play one or are willing to experiment with one, even on short notice.  But I will be just as interested in working with you on works by Mozart, CPE Bach, Clementi, Haydn, or early-to-mid Beethoven.” – Tom Beghin.
