Egon Wellesz (1885-1974): Der Abend, op. 4
Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951): Three Piano Pieces, op. 11
Wilhelm Grosz (1894-1951): Symphonic Variations, op. 9

Gottlieb Wallisch's recital commemorates the 150th anniversary of Schoenberg's birth as well as the work of his student Egon Wellesz, who died in Oxford 50 years ago. The fin-de-siecle impressionism of Wellesz' cycle 'Der Abend' (1909/10) is contrasted with Wilhelm Grosz's Symphonic Variations, op. 9 from 1920: a monumental piece that combines a post-Mahlerian musical language with highly virtuosic pianism. This recital is presented in association with the Faculty of Music and the UdK Berlin [Universität der Künste Berlin].

Using musical illusions, perceptual experiments and examples from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tchaikovsky, Steve Reich and beyond, Prof. Milton Mermikides explores how music can evoke altered perceptions of time and self, the blending of senses and moments of transcendence, and why music relies on the very same perceptual mechanisms for its extraordinary power.
