Yoav Levanon performs Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann, and Rachmaninov (2023) 🎹 Program Notes: Yoav Levanon - New Generation Piano Recital 🌟 Embark on a musical journey with Israeli pianist Yoav Levanon, a prodigious talent who took the stage at the tender age of four. With international prizes and a Carnegie Hall debut at seven, Levanon’s exceptional journey has led him to headline the sold-out New Generation Piano Recital series at Paris’s Fondation Louis Vuitton at just 19 years old. 1. Clara Schumann - Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 20 Yoav Levanon opens the recital with Clara Schumann’s poignant Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann. One of her final compositions, this cycle of seven variations transforms Robert’s motif from Bunte Blätter into a cascade of arpeggios, showcasing Clara’s compositional finesse and inspiring Brahms’s own variations on the same theme. 2. Robert Schumann - Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13 Enter the world of Robert Schumann’s beloved Symphonic Etudes, a collection of 13 technically demanding short pieces. Evolving from a somber funeral march to a triumphant song, these etudes appeal to a deep sense of musicality. Levanon’s interpretation brings forth the emotional depth and technical brilliance embedded in these musical gems. 3. Sergei Rachmaninov - Études-Tableaux, Op. 39 The program concludes with Rachmaninov’s Op. 39 set of Études-Tableaux, emblematic of the composer’s stylistic invention and musical intensity. Composed between 1916-17, these evocative tableaux invite pianists to paint their own interpretations, leaving minds brimming with music and vivid images. Levanon’s virtuosic performance promises to captivate and resonate, showcasing the full spectrum of Rachmaninov’s genius. Join us for an evening where Yoav Levanon, a musical sensation of the new generation, illuminates the stage with the timeless works of Clara and Robert Schumann, along with the profound Études-Tableaux by Sergei Rachmaninov.
