Programme
C.Ph.E. Bach, W.F. Bach, J.Ch. Bach, Ch.S. Binder
The pianoforte and the harpsichord – „two brothers”: similar, yet so very different. Closely connected in history, and at the same time surprisingly distinct in character and expression. Each carries its own musical language, its own palette of colors and emotions. When they meet on the same stage, however, they enter into a fascinating dialogue, complementing one another and creating an extraordinary, multidimensional sound world. The subtlety, delicacy, and singing quality of the pianoforte intertwine with the sparkling, incisive sound of the harpsichord, producing an effect full of contrasts as well as harmony. This encounter of instruments becomes not only a conversation of timbres, but also a story about the aesthetic and emotional transformations of the era. The concert programme perfectly reflects the spirit of the second half of the eighteenth century – a time of intense exploration, experimentation, and the breaking of old rules. It is an invitation into a world where tradition meets innovation, and stylistic diversity forms a fascinating, coherent whole.
