EIF: Andreas Staier; Fortepiano

27 August 2009 at 11:00am

Exceptional fortepianist Andreas Staier performs a selection of pieces by Clementi, Schubert, Schumann and the Irish composer and pianist John Field including his arrangement of Twas Within a Mile o' Edinburgh Town and a selection of Nocturnes, a form which Field is credited with inventing.

'relish the beautiful sound of the fortepiano he uses, his exquisite phrasing and nifty finger work and overall sensitivity to the works. These are outstanding performances.' (BBC Radio 3)

'one of the most important pianists of our times...with an agility and wit that make hearing him a constant delight.' (The Independent)

Tickets for all EIF events – at all venues – are available at The Queen’s Hall Box Office for personal callers.
