In the world of music literature, it is rare to find the piano and organ used together. Yet despite being related instruments, they differ in many significant ways. While organ tones sustain as long as the key is held down, piano notes fade after being struck. On the organ, pressing a key harder does not affect the volume, whereas on the piano, tone and dynamics are shaped primarily by touch. The piano has only one keyboard and no sound registers, while the organ offers multiple manuals and a wide variety of tonal colors. The organ lacks a sustain pedal, so only the keys being played at that moment sound - but melodies can also be played with the feet. In contrast, the piano’s sustain pedal allows more notes to ring out simultaneously than the player has fingers.
How much variety these similarities and differences make possible! Now is the moment for these two familiar yet rarely paired relatives to meet and present important musical works in a form that is truly seldom heard. And with Szabolcs Szamosi and János Balázs leading the performance, innovation will be at the heart of both the program and the interpretation!
A joint concert by the Cziffra Festival and Filharmonia Hungary.
