Inspired by the poem L'après-midi d'un faune by Stéphane Mallarmé and originally written in 1894 as a symphonic poem for orchestra\, Debussy’s Prélude is considered to be the birth of modern music. While this version made its way back to literature in Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain as Hans Castorp’s favourite recording\, the piano version has no less of the allure\, colour or imagination to offer. Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances\, his last composition\, started its life as an orchestral suite in three movements. The piece is full of dark\, grotesque harmonies and allowed Rachmaninoff to express his nostalgia for the homeland he had known and delve deeper into his fascination with religious chants of the Russian orthodox church.\n\n\nFREE ENTRY  for the festival’s participants.\n\n\n\n\n[AIGetTwitterFeeds ai_username='PianoWeekFest' ai_numberoftweets='3' ai_tweet_title='Your Title']
