This event is part of the Complete Well-Tempered Clavier project
(In Cantonese)
Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier is perhaps the very first musical pilgrimage every pianist embarks on. Whilst its performance demands a high musical stamina, this monumental keyboard masterpiece also offers a dazzling kaleidoscope of timbre that gives out brand new listening sensations every time it is revisited.
In this talk, Hong Kong pianist Stephen Hung will share how he approaches Book I and II – the two divergent Well-Tempered Clavier sets that are composed 20 years apart. As the 48 preludes and fugues gradually evolve into deepening musical complexity, Hung will unfold the interlaced harmonic spectrums before us.
