The 51st episode of the series Stars of Tomorrow in the first district features the 19-year-old Russian LIIA KOPYLOVA, who won the prize shower during competitions one can speak of hail. We have never had such a young person with so many awards! We are accordingly curious about their interpretation of the Austrian MOZART and his very well-known, 20-minute piano sonata No. 10 in C major, KV 330 from his time in Vienna in 1783 with a cheerful, lyrical character, followed by the German friends ROBERT SCHUMANN with the baroque, the Viennese classical music and the music of the Romantic period, containing Symphonic Etudes Opus 13, which Schumann began composing in 1837 out of a stormy youthful love, as well as JOHANNES BRAHMS with6 piano pieces, op. 118, completed in 1893 and dedicated to Robert Schumann's wife Clara, which are "slow, quiet and lonely" and are among Brahms' late, most-played piano works.

After so much musical feeling of romanticism, there is also a seven and a half minute new musical piece by the Romanian-Austrian composer DANA CRISTINA PROBST, born in Bucharest in 1961 of the title at least conceptually for poetic and philosophical romanticism: "Sans nuages, la lumière n'aurait pas de mystères, pas des hésitations, pas de victoires" means "Without clouds there would be no secrets for the light, no hesitation, none Siege“.Whether the work composed in 2021 actually sounds more romantic, philosophical or even spiritual remains to be seen. In any case, LIIA KOPYLOVA chose it from an anonymous selection of several pieces of new music.
Finally follows La Valse, poème chorégraphique pour orchestre by the real Frenchman and impressionist MAURICE RAVEL from 1920 in the version for piano by the Georgian composer ALEXANDER KORSANTIA. It is a choreographic poem as a dark deification of the Viennese waltz. After World War I, RAVEL saw the classic waltz form as a swirling, tragic dance that symbolized the disintegration of European culture. The work begins quietly, builds into a rushing waltz and ends in a chaotic, frenetic apotheosis. (text: Elfi Oberhuber)
