In the bright, lucid and cheerful atmosphere of the late sonata As-major op. 110 the maestro form Vienna at the end of his pianistic oeuvre is remembering former compositorical techniques like the toccata-like passages of a baroque prelude, the cantic expression of a solo – rezitatives in a cantata of Bach or in the last part the polyphony of a contrapuntal fugue – simultaneously looking into the future with a new ‚romantic‘ sonata concept !
The second part of the evening is dedicated entirely tot he melancholy and sadness of the ‚russian Soul‘ with sparkling, glittering arpeggios of the gis-minor – prelude op. 32 No.12 of Sergey Rachmaninov, whose following Etude Tableaux Nr. 2 in a-minor op. 39 brings a personal intimate chant melody.

Tschaikowsky is formally and expressively „bending a big bow“ of a romantic sonata architecture. Beneath the wide-spread thematic developments of the sonata form in the first chapter als the cantable lyric melody of a romantic Andante middle section is appearing in the midst, as well as the quickly scurrying passages of a Scherzo. Final Firework at the end is lit by the final rondo section.
