In this Four Part series, international concert pianist, Steinway artist and academic, Karl Lutchmayer (http://bit.ly/KarlSteinway) leads you into the world of western classical music. Aimed at students, parents, first-time listeners and anyone who wants to know what it is all about, Karl, a consummate musical tour guide, helps his audiences to listen to unfamiliar music by explaining the historical background, the traditions, the composers’ intentions, and first listeners’ expectations of the masterworks he demystifies. Giving aural sign-posts along the way, and exploring different approaches to performance, by the end of a session his audience feels that they are ready to really understand the narrative of the music rather than just enjoying the tunes.
