JUSSEN Brothers Piano Duo Recital
"You realise that this is not usual. This is not just two good pianists playing together. They sense each other's most small, individual a little bit of interpretation." ──Sir Neville MARRINER
A pianist can create a world of infinite possibilities. Due to the piano's wide range and expressiveness, a skilled pianist can produce a variety of moods and atmospheres, sometimes comparable to an orchestra with dozens of musicians! Having two excellent pianists together brings more complexity and dynamics, which is even better! However, the addition of a second pianist challenges the two musicians' coordination and understanding, the basis for a perfect performance.
There are two ways for two pianists to perform together: "piano four-hands," where two people play the same piano, or "piano duo," where each person plays a separate instrument. The challenges each mode poses are different: with piano four-hands, since the two people are crowded in front of the same piano, they must coordinate their movements to avoid interfering with each other; with a piano duo, there are no issues with getting tangled up, but whether the speed and rhythm are synchronized is dependent on their chemistry.
Speaking of perfect chemistry, look no further than siblings who have played piano together since childhood. Dutch pianists Lucas and Arthur JUSSEN, who will soon perform at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), are a perfectly coordinated double piano duo. Upon hearing the brothers perform, famed conductor Sir Neville MARRINER was amazed by their awareness of each other's interpretive subtleties. The JUSSEN brothers will bring arrangements of J. S. BACH's works, MOZART's and RAVEL's works for 2 pianos as well as STRAVINSKY's musical-choreographic The Rite of Spring. Make sure to catch this performance of a lifetime.
