Mazurka

“Spring (for Mom)” è una dedica speciale alla mia mamma, ho cercato di racchiudere con questa composizione vista dalla mia prospettiva di figlio prima e poi genitore, il rapporto tra una madre e un figlio. La delicatezza della stagione rinascente, accompagnata dallo scandio inesorabile passare del tempo, incantano l'inizio e la fine del brano, interrotto a metà dal brusco temporale, che però non porta che acqua per i rinnovati fiori. 
Questa traccia soave, mescola l'essenza della primavera, la calma dolce della natura che rinasce e resiste resiliente al temporale, andando avanti tenace e delicata, come il rapporto tra una madre e un figlio.


03 Francesco Caternuolo - 4 Seasons - Spring (for Mom)

 Baroque-style fugue, in Three Voices, performed on piano, with a somber mood.

Fugue In G Minor

The quality of the sound that continues between the chords in this piece is part of the work's attraction.

Played on Carmen Reaves's Kawai grand, in 2001.

J. Brahms - Klaviersonate fis - moll op. 2 - Jan Gerdes piano  live-recording

Bach - Präludium u. Fuge g - moll WK II - Jan Gerdes piano  live-recording

Während die linke Hand in stoischer Ruhe und Konstanz den Rhythmus vorgibt, tanzt die rechte Hand in immer neuen Sprüngen über die Harmonien und Disharmonien. Jede Seite ergänzt die Andere, und wäre für sich gestellt doch etwas verloren. Ein fast menschlicher Vorgang...

Hopes and Doubts

The pianist Jan Gerdes is one of the most interesting and versatile musicians of his generation. As a pianist between tradition and the avant-garde he is a master of both the classical–romantic and contemporary repertoire.

Concerts all over the world have taken this award-winning musician to countries in Europe, South America and the Far East. He has given guest performances at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Maerzmusik Berlin, Rotterdam Gaudeamus Week, Festival Chiffren, Festival Ultraschall Berlin, Musica Viva Straßburg, Stockhausen Courses, Centre Acanthes Metz, Bregenzer Festspiele, Haller Bachtage, Kunstfest Weimar, Beethovenfest Bonn, WDR Musikfest, Weingartener Tage Neuer Musik, Darmstadt Summer Courses and elsewhere, and he has appeared in concert halls such as the Berliner Konzerthaus, the Kölner Philharmonie, Opera de Paris, Essener Philharmonie, Konzerthaus Wien, Freiburger Konzerthaus, Tonhalle Düsseldorf, Alte Oper Frankfurt and Berliner Philharmonie.

As a traveller between the worlds of classical and new music, electronica and performance, in 2004 he founded the composing and improvising duo EROL, which explores the interface between piano music and electronic club culture. Since 2018 he works on his  electroacoustic project `rand` with Berlin based techno producer Frank Bogdanowitz aka Dr.Nojoke. Their debut album „ Peripherie“ was released in 2022. 

The music-theatre platform solosymphonie-productions, a joint venture with actor Michael Fuchs, develops innovative programs and interdisciplinary projects that juxtapose traditional and modern elements in music, theatre, literature, visual art and dance in a dramaturgy that turns them into a sensory experience. Their successful production 4.48 Psychose, a confrontation of the play by Sarah Kane with contemporary notated and improvised music, was premiered at the Nationaltheater Mannheim.

Pianist in Greensboro, NC. Master's in Piano Performance UNCG.

Jörg Seifert's world of sound develops spontaneously and without preparation. Moods and feelings are captured through improvisation and fixed as a special moment.
