Mit vier Händen

The very first composition in his catalogue raisonné, the three-movement Fantasia for four-hand piano in G major, was written by Franz Schubert at the tender age of 13. Even in 1828, the year of his death, he wrote weighty works for this genre with the multi-layered F minor Fantasy and the Allegro in A minor called "Lebensstürme". During his Schubertiades, Schubert himself sat at the piano with a friend to perform his cheerful marches and polonaises, but also the multi-layered fantasies in the private salon. In Klosters, Sir András Schiff will dedicate himself to this varied, not often heard repertoire together with the award-winning pianist Chloe Jiyeong Mun. "Schubert's music is the most human I know – and the most personal," says Schiff. And thus reveals his deep personal connection to this composer, which will also be felt with four hands.
