Ilya Poletaev, piano听

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Goldberg Variations, BWV 988听

Concert presented as part of les Journ茅es de la culture听

Calling all keyboard lovers! The famous Goldberg Variations are played in two special concerts by Schulich professor Ilya Poletaev. With the first evening featuring the modern piano and the second embracing the historical keyboard,听you are invited to immerse yourself in these stunning sound worlds.听听

What makes the instruments so distinct?听On a harpsichord, when you press a key, the string is plucked. In contrast, the piano resounds when hammers strike the strings (technically making it a percussion instrument). Hear how the sublime music of Bach comes to life in different ways with each keyboard. You won鈥檛 want to miss a note. 听听

Curious for more? At each concert Prof. Poletaev will answer questions and discuss how each instrument shaped his approach and interpretation of Bach鈥檚 magnificent music.
