Historical Context

Many artistically interesting works were overlooked and forgotten in the 20th century due to rapid developments, wars, and hostilities in Europe.

Interpretation

The final evening of the festival was dedicated to the phenomenon of the 'encore', showcasing the variety of choices from piano literature.

Composition History

The festival has brought to light works by composers like Alkan, Medtner, Chabrier, Busoni, and Godowsky that were rarely heard in the post-war era.

Critical Reception

A critic enthusiastically described Husum as no longer a 'white spot' on the piano map, but an 'experience land' of black and white keys.

Composer's Artistic Vision

The Husum Piano Festival aims to counter the academic uniformity of most piano recitals by presenting exciting concert experiences beyond conservative classical programs.
