Frédéric Chopin: Andante spianato et Grande Polonaise brillante in E-flat major, Op. 22,
which was composed between 1830 and 1834. The Grande Polonaise brillante in E-flat, set for piano and orchestra, was written first, in 1830-31.

AND at 18.00 Frédéric Chopin: Variations on a Theme of Moore,for piano four hands, KKIVa/6, CT.228,
which was written when Chopin was a student living in Warsaw, this is the composer’s only known work for piano, four-hands. Though it is an early effort, it is still of sufficient substance to make it worthy of the attention of both pianists and public. Part of its general neglect stems from its four-hand status, never a popular venue for pianists, though audiences have generally been favorable to it. When a duo team is formed, however, their preferences tend to be in the realm of two-piano repertory. (~ All Music Guide)

Ludwig van Beethoven: Klaviertrio Nr. 3 op. 1, 3 C-Moll – I. Allegro con brio, Trio Gimelia
In Beethoven’s compositions C minor is commonly regarded as a special key: works in this key are usually very dramatic and emotionally stormy. So is the C minor trio, which is characterized by strong contrasts in dynamics and harmonic innovations.
In the first movement Beethoven anticipates the explosive developments with its strong contrasts of dolce pianissimos and powerful fortissimos, an effect that became increasingly characteristic of Beethoven.R. Schumann Frauen Lieben un Leben, Kati Arikoski & Elisabeth Hanke
1.”Seit ich ihn gesehen” (“Since I Saw Him”)
2.”Er, der Herrlichste von allen” (“He, the Noblest of All”)
3.”Ich kann’s nicht fassen, nicht glauben” (“I Cannot Grasp or Believe It”)
4.”Du Ring an meinem Finger” (“You Ring Upon My Finger”)
5.”Helft mir, ihr Schwestern” (“Help Me, Sisters”)
6.”Süßer Freund, du blickest mich verwundert an” (“Sweet Friend, You Gaze”)
7.”An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust” (“At My Heart, At My Breast”)
8.”Nun hast du mir den ersten Schmerz getan” (“Now You Have Caused Me Pain for the First Time”)Frauenliebe und -leben (A Woman’s Love and Life) is a cycle of poems by Adelbert von Chamisso, written in 1830. They describe the course of a woman’s love for her man, from her point of view, from first meeting through marriage to his death, and after.
J. Brahms: Piano trio C minor, op. 101, Trio Gimelia
I Allegro energico
II Presto non assai
III Andante grazioso
IV Allegro moltoBrahms komponerede sin Klavertrio op. 101 i c-mol i 1886 under et sommerophold i Thun, Schweiz. Samtidig skrev han også Cellosonaten i F-dur op. 99 og Violinsonaten i A-dur op. 100. Trioen blev spillet første gang i sommeren 1886 umiddelbart efter dens færdiggørelse i digteren J. V. Widmanns hus i Bern, og blev uropføret senere samme år i Budapest med Brahms selv ved klaveret.
Brahms venner var meget begejstrede for trioen. Således skrev f. eks. Clara Schumann, at ingen af Brahms værker havde fascineret hende så meget som dette. Og Elisabeth von Herzogenberg, hvis musikalske dømmekraft Brahms satte meget højt, mente, at netop dette værk portrætterede Brahms bedre end noget fotografi.
De to ydersatser, Allegro energico og Allegro molto, er meget lidenskabelige og bevægende og skaber en imponerende ramme om den mystiske Presto non assai og den uskyldige Andante grazioso. -

Ariettes oubliées
18:00 DKDM
Rosenørns Allé 22
Frederiksberg C
Denmark
C. Debussy: Ariettes oubliées
Kati Arikoski, klaver
Angelica Larsson Asp, sopran
No. 1. C’est l’extase
No. 2 Il pleure dans mon coeur
No. 3 L’ombre des arbres
No. 4. Chevaux de bois
No. 5. Green
No. 6. SpleenThe first item in Ariettes oubliées is typical of Verlaine’s work and a highly adept musical setting by Debussy: the gauzy, floating melodic line perfectly reflects the text of C’est l’extase langoureuse, in all its languorous ecstasy. Next is Il pleure dans mon coeur, with the piano accompanying the long vocal lines with what would become Debussy’s typical “raindrop” music; the singer notes that it rains in her heart as it rains in the town, but can’t understand the source of her sadness. “It’s pain’s darkest state/not to know why/without love, without hate/my heart feels such weight.”
The third song is L’ombre des arbes (The Shadows of the Trees), another doleful piece in which the singer’s state of mind reflects (rather than is reflected by) a sad, solemn landscape. Everything brightens significantly with Chevaux de bois, initially celebrating the energy of merry-go-round horses turning in their circular route, although midway through the mood changes to sadness and wistfulness, reflecting the knowledge that these are not living creatures.
The last two songs are “Green” and “Spleen” — the titles are in English, because Verlaine liked their sound. Debussy, following Verlaine, referred to this pair of songs as aquarelles, and the music does have a light, wispy, watercolor character. “Green” is a love song that begins with offerings from nature (fruits, flowers, leaves in the trees) and ends with a falling into slumber. “Spleen” is a song of despair — the sky is too blue, the sea too green, all because the loved one has done something “atrocious.” The vocal line becomes intentionally monotonous, and the music fades away, listlessly

Kati Eriikka Arikoski if playing Chopin Andante Spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante with professor Eugen Indjic.
Eugen Indjic – 4th Prize winner, 8th International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw (1970). Eugen Indjic’s mother was a Russian amateur pianist and his father a Serbian army officer. He emigrated to the US with his mother at the age of four. He became interested in music by chance, after hearing a recording of Chopin’s Impromptu in C sharp minor and Polonaise in A flat major. Moved by a desire to master these pieces, he took systematic piano lessons with Georgian pianist Lubov Stephani. After two years, she introduced him to Alexander Borovsky, who was his teacher for the next five years (1959–1964). Simultaneously, Mr. Indjic studied piano playing at the Juilliard School of Music with Mieczysław Münz and Rosina Lhévinne’s apprentice Lee Thompson (1965–1968), and theory and composition at the Harvard University with Lorin Berman and Leon Kirchner (1965–1969). In 1968, he met Artur Rubinstein with whom he consulted in New York and Paris for over ten years. Between 1965 and 1972, Indjic taking private summer lessons with Nadia Boulanger in Paris and Clifford Curzon in Fountainebleau. Before enrolling for the Chopin competition, he also worked with Witold Małcużyński in Majorca and Konstanty Schmaeling in Paris, for several months.
Mr. Indjic was awarded at three international piano competitions: 4th Prize in Warsaw (Chopin Competition, 1970), 3rd Prize in Leeds (1972) and 2nd Prize in Tel Aviv (Artur Rubinstein competition, 1974).
Mr. Indjic made his first public performance at the age of ten, appearing with his school orchestra in Springfield in Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor. At the age of 11, he was already playing Liszt’s Campanella and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13, and two years later he performed Liszt’s Piano Concerto in E flat major with the Washington National Symphony Orchestra. At 14 with the same orchestra, he played Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, a work he played again in 1965 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Erich Leinsdorf, becoming the youngest soloist ever to appear with the famous orchestra.
Between 1961 and 1969 on invitation of Arthur Fiedler, Mr. Indjic appeared each season at the Tanglewood Summer Festival with the Boston Pops orchestra. His first concert tour (consisting of 13 concerts) was to Denmark (1963), together with Alexander Borovsky.
Mr. Indjic has performed in almost all European countries, the Americas, Africa and the Middle and Far East.
Mr. Indjic performs frequently in Poland. Music critics emphasize his great talent which allows him to play “Chopin like Pole, Débussy like a Frenchman and Prokofiev like a Russian.”
Mr. Indjic has recorded for Polskie Nagrania / Muza, Columbia, RCA Victor, Claves and Calliopé. His discography includes works by Chopin (Piano Concertos, complete Ballades and Mazurkas, Sonata in B flat minor and in B minor, Berceuse and Fantasie in F minor) Débussy, Schumann, Prokofiev, as well as Beethoven and Saint-Saëns (performed on Rachmaninov’s piano in the RCA Victor studio).
Mr. Indjic has been an international piano competition juror in Warsaw (Chopin Competition, 2000), Lisbon, Tel Aviv and Monte Carlo. He holds summer masterclasses in Paris and Prague.

Gudruns Sorg & Heise combined with InstruMental I & Fagerudd as a staged version! Great concert in the concept of Nordic Females, performed by Nordic Females!
Director for “Gudrun Sorg >> << InstruMental" is Kirsten Schultz-Hansen [singlepic id="79" w="350" h="" mode="" float="" ] A room – an instrument – an old collection of music A piano player is for a short while engrossed in an unknown score, puts the book aside og begins practicing on the piano. While he plays a woman has entered the room insisting upon rendering the songs in the book. The pianist listens to the story of a past funeral, where the woman, Gudrun, mourns her murdered husband Sigurd. The Killer can be found among the near relations of this family, spun into a web of intrigue and lust for gold and power. Gudrun, paralysed by grief and ready to die, cannot weep. A number of women, breaking through the earth like tree trunks and voicing their own destiny, tries in vain to help Gudrun. Only at the sight of the dead body lying there without a shroud, she reacts. The pianist listens and the fingers play and conjure up the plot. Strange chords and tones find their way expressing the inexpressible, while the rhythm excites and redeems. When Gudrun at last lets her tears run freely and faces the truth, a stream of accusations and curses pours out. The direction Directing a work written for the concert hall and consequently primarily for the ear may seem disrespectful, but adding a visuel dimension to the songs in Gudrun’s Sorrow seems so natural. These texts invite to dramatisation and this is supported by Heise’s highly expressive music accentuating the story’s narrator. We have chosen to intensify the drama by confronting Heise’s romantic tones with new music composed by Markus Fagerudd. The women’s eternal stories of grief, betrayal and revenge is ’pulled forward to the present’ so to speak in this meeting with the expressionist and contrasting piano music. By removing the focus from the aesthetical artsong to a dramatized version of the work, we hope these forgotten songs will be given a new life. Heise and Gudrun’s Sorrow Gudrun’s Sorrow is one of the most important collections of Heise’s songs from his later years. The texts are drawn from the Icelandic Sagas of The Elder Edda translated by H. G. Møller. The six songs were composed and published in 1871. The plot revolves around the central female character, Gudrun, whose husband has been murdered by her brother, and the affinity with stories from the Old Testament and the Greek Tragedies is evident. Gudrun’s Sorrow was composed at a time when Heise was trying to get more dramatic expression into his music and the songs bear the stamp of the great dramatic contrasts which are also underlined by the text. Furthermore fragments of thematic themes are used almost as leitmotifs, also pointing to the composer’s desire to underline the drama. Darkness and a foreboding tone dominates and just one out of six songs end in major (Thus spoke Gullrønd, Gjuke’s daughter). Fagerudd and InstruMental The Finnish composer Markus Fagerudd (born 1961) has written quite a lot of instrumental and vocal music and between 1981-98 he created theatre music for KOM-Theatre, Helsinki, City Theatre and Finnish National Theatre as well as music for film and television. In the piano work InstruMental from 2002, which is part of this performance, Markus Fagerudd deals with the relation between musician and instrument. He says: ”When I began the planning of the InstruMental-series, which up till now consists of four works, I was inspired by the closeness between instrument/music/theatre. The thought that this work in itself creates the thought of the presence of theatre was very interesting and challenging.” The sequence of the five movements is the pianist’s own choice, thereby underlining the musician’s creative influence on the work.
