Daniel Maltz to Play on the Fortpiano at Ventfort Hall
 |
LENOX, Mass. — Enjoy Haydn and Mozart's piano works as Daniel Adam Maltz, a fortepiano pianist, plays them on a period instrument at Ventfort Hall.
He will give two concerts, one on Wednesday, July 3 and one on Thursday, July 4, both at 5 pm.
During the Classical era in Vienna, composers expected their keyboard music to entertain relatively small audiences in more intimate settings than today's large concert halls. And, the era's pianos (known as "fortepianos") are very different from modern Steinways.
Fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz is based in Vienna and studied Historical Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London and at Vienna's University for Music and Performing Arts. He performs on historic Viennese fortepianos, utilizing the vast range of tones, colors, and techniques familiar to Classical-era composers. He specializes in Wiener Klassik — Viennese Classicism — especially the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven performed on the Viennese fortepianos of their time.
