There’s a lot to look forward to at the recital by Elisabeth Brauß, a Levit student and 2016 Chamber Music Academy fellow! Especially in the two piano cycles she will perform, by Robert Schumann and Paul Hindemith: “Carnaval” is a musical round dance in which real-life figures such as Clara Schumann and the composers Frédéric Chopin and Niccolò Paganini encounter characters from the Commedia dell’arte as well as the “Davidsbündler” conceived by Schumann. In Hindemith’s “Nachtstücke,” an even wider variety of elements is brought together, including echoes of Debussy, virtuosic passages, a foxtrot, and a Bach fugue. By comparison, Schumann’s friend Johannes Brahms seems almost harmless with his collection of extroverted capriccios and introspective intermezzos.
