Keyboard Studies

Overview

Pianists, organists and harpsichordists who want to shine on the international concert stage must demonstrate flawless technical mastery of their instrument and a deep knowledge of the repertoire. The top priority at the Department of Keyboard Studies is to provide students with the best possible preparation for a career as an instrumentalist. If they wish, students can also specialise in chamber music, Lied interpretation, applied piano skills, fortepiano or piano pedagogy.

Spotlight on: Fanny Hensel - Klavierzyklus „Das Jahr“

In her lecture “‘I think I’ve got it.’ Fanny Hensel’s Piano Cycle ‘Das Jahr’—The Story of a Discovery,” musicologist Beatrix Borchard traces the history of the creation and reception of this long-underappreciated work. Piano students from the Mozarteum University will bring to life the finely nuanced timbres and characterful miniatures in which Fanny Hensel transformed the impressions from her trip to Italy into a musical calendar full of poetic moods.
