Each piece in this recital is a sincere love letter, as pianist Yen Chun-Chieh interprets some of the most heartfelt love poems in classical music from the perspective of Clara Schumann, the beloved muse of these composers.
This concert connects masterful works through the theme of love, capturing the profound emotions shared between Brahms, Clara, and Robert Schumann. Each piece serves as a love letter, with Yen Chun-Chieh’s playing bringing forth the composers' genuine affections. The two “Piano Sonatas in F# minor” represent Schumann and Brahms’s heartfelt tributes to Clara, while “Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, op.20” was Clara’s final birthday gift to her ailing husband. These melodies of love, crafted over two centuries ago, continue to echo in our hearts.
