Reubke Organ & Piano Sonata — Double Bill
March 8, 2020 @ 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
$25.00
Little known composer Julius Reubke was Liszt’s favourite pupil in Weimar, where he composed the Piano Sonata in B flat minor – profoundly influenced by the Lisztian model – and the Organ Sonata on the 94th Psalm in C minor, which is believed to be one of the greatest organ works in the classical repertoire.
This unique and never before played double bill in Toronto showcases Reubke’s two most famous sonatas, performed by Imre Olah on organ and Anastasia Rizikov on piano.
Dying at the age of 24 and leaving only a handful of compositions and the heartfelt testimonials of teachers and friends, Julius Reubke represents one of the most intriguing might-have-beens of the Romantic era in Germany.
Liszt’s words, in a letter of condolence to Reubke’s father, are often quoted: ‘Truly no one could feel more deeply the loss which Art has suffered in your Julius, than the one who has followed with admiring sympathy his noble, constant and successful strivings in these latter years, and who will ever remain true to the memory of his friendship.’
