Kammerata Luxembourg is unique in being both a concert organizer and a versatile ensemble of musicians, performing contemporary pieces alongside classical and romantic works.
Composer's Artistic Vision
György Kurtág, a contemporary composer, was advised by psychologist Marianne Stein to concentrate on short forms, a practice he has maintained, often merging miniatures into cyclical works.
Compositional Technique
Schumann's Drei Fantasiestücke form a dramatic triptych, with increasing tempo indications and thematic connections emphasizing their unity.
Composition History
Robert Schumann composed his Drei Fantasiestücke, also known as Soiréestücke, in just two days in February 1849.
Performer Biography
Kammerata Luxembourg, formerly KMVL-Ensemble, has been active for over 30 years and is known for its diverse music productions and concert cycles.
Album & Artwork
This album, "Hommage à Schumann", marks the occasion of the KMVL-Ensemble changing its name to Kammerata Luxembourg.
Instruments
Robert and Clara Schumann received a pedal piano in 1845, a hybrid instrument for organists to practice their repertoire at home, for which Schumann immediately began composing.
