Erleben Sie Franz Liszt wie nie zuvor! –

Auf einer Reise durch das Leben, die Philosophie und die unermüdliche Arbeit des großen Virtuosen: Zwischen beeindruckenden Klavierwerken zeigt Martin Ivanov Liszts Lernmethoden, berühmte Fingerübungen, und gibt Einblicke in die Technik, die seine unvergleichliche Virtuosität möglich machte. Neben der Musik erzählt Ivanov spannende Anekdoten aus Liszts Leben, von seinen Begegnungen mit anderen Komponist:innen, über persönliche Herausforderungen bis zu überraschenden Geschichten aus dem Konzertalltag des Jahrhundertpianisten. So entspinnt sich ein Abend voller Feuerwerk, Inspiration und musikalischer Tiefe, der sowohl Liebhaber großer Virtuosität als auch neugierige Musikfreunde begeistern wird.

Über die Reihe KlavierTotal KlavierTotal is a four-part concert series that showcases the versatility of piano playing. Each concert sheds light on different perspectives of music - as a composer, as a musician and as a performer.
The first concert will focus on the compositions of Martin Ivanov and the creative process of a musician. The second concert is dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach and the technical and emotional challenges of his works. The third concert brings together Martin Ivanov and his brother as partners for music for four hands, combined with humorous musical interludes in the style of Victor Borge. In the fourth concert, the virtuosity of Franz Liszt takes centre stage, with a special focus on his Hungarian Rhapsodies and his teaching methods.
The aim of this concert series is not only to look back and reflect on what has been experienced, but also to leave each concert with a completely new, deeper understanding of music. Each concert is an emotional journey in which the audience is not only entertained, but also carried away by powerful examples and passionate interpretations. It is not just music that is played – stories are told that bring the music to life and fill the audience with inspiration and new perspectives for each upcoming concert.
