Dohun Lee (KR/DE) – Nächtliches Gespräch - Mondschein und Sternenglanz
Dohun Lee about his piano piece “Nächtliches Gespräch – Mondschein und Sternenglanz”
“In den vergangenen Jahren habe ich mich mit Sternenglanz für Klaviermusik beschäftigt. In diesem Stück werden der Mondschein von Beethoven und der Sternenglanz von mir ein nächtliches Gespräch führen.
Dieses Stück ist eine Begegnung der beiden Komponisten und es ist auch eine Begegnung von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Der Mondschein von Beethoven wäre neben Sternenglanz nicht mehr so einsam.”
