Yura Zaiki - Piano
Sunday May 7th, 4pm - 5:15pm
Emerging Japanese pianist Yura Zaiki brings to the keys of our unique Pinkham Piano, an eclectic programme of keyboard works from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods: from Bach to twentieth century Dutch composer Willem Pijper.
The highlight will be Haydn’s beloved final Sonata (E flat major no. 62) which he wrote here in London, for the celebrated pianist Therese Jansen. Originally from Germany, Therese had settled in London with her family whilst still a child. Greatly admired in musical circles, she was the dedicatee of several works by Hadyn, Clementi, of whom she was a star pupil, and others of the period.
Willem Pijper was a deeply innovative Dutch composer of the first half of the twentieth century. He died in 1947 before being able to complete his epic operatic treatment of the Arthurian myth of Merlin, but his influence on later 20th century Dutch music was immense, both by example and through his extensive teaching. His music developed in a polytonal compositional style, whilst retaining a powerful emotional character. Have a listen to some of his thrilling third symphony here:
