The Horowitz Competition Kyiv was able to proceed despite the war in Ukraine, thanks to the host city of Geneva. It’s wonderful that the 1st Prize, the Prizewinners title, and the Gold Medal were won by the young Ukrainian Roman Fediurko: a pianist with an impressive list of competition wins, including the first prize at the Murai Grand Prix International Piano Competition 2022, first prize at the Isidor Bajić Piano Memorial Competition 2021, and second prize at the International Competition for Young Pianists in Memory of Vladimir Horowitz Junior Group 2016.
‘No other of his 31 sonatas covers such a broad emotional range: it spans from the absolute depths of despair to utter euphoria,’ said music critic Jonathan Biss about Beethoven’s 31st piano sonata. One of the final works of the Viennese master, composed when he was already completely deaf and working in isolation. Rachmaninov, on the other hand, was very young at the time of his Morceaux de fantaisie: 19, the same age as Roman Fediurko himself. Shortly afterward, the Moments musicaux were created. With these, Rachmaninov bid farewell to his youth. He was one of the greatest pianists of all time; for the fourth Moment musical, one needs a highly virtuosic left hand. With his Third Sonata, Chopin was nearing the end. A beautiful blend of romantic content and classical form.
After the concert, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with some treats included. This is part of your ticket.
