Followed by Scriabin's Preludes Op. 11\, written during the composer's first compositional phase at the end of the nineteenth century\, the recital slowly builds up to a virtuosic climax with  Liszt's Vallée d'Obermann.The second half of the programme opens with Mozart. Composed in Mannheim in 1777\, the first movement of the Sonata in D\, K311 is an orchestral-sounding ‘brio’ movement\, radiating exuberance. The song-like second movement has a profound poetical depth expressed in seemingly simple phrases. Among Mozart’s contemporaries\, only Joseph Haydn could occasionally match such a wealth of expression. The lengthy final movement is one of the composer’s hunting rondos in six/eight time. It also includes a small written-out cadenza and crowns this sonata with youthful vigour and much excitement. Nixon follows it with Liszt's most effective piano transcriptions - Schumann's Widmung; a declaration of love to his new wife Clara\, Mendelssohn's Auf Flugeln des Gesanges which depicts a dream-like place of love and bliss and the tragic Isoldens Liebestod from Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde.\n\n\nFREE ENTRY  for the festival’s participants.\n\n\n[AIGetTwitterFeeds ai_username='PianoWeekFest' ai_numberoftweets='3' ai_tweet_title='Your Title']
