Pianist Shai Wosner in the PT Studios
Franz Schubert's music can sound warm and sunny one moment, then suddenly become angst-ridden, and just as quickly, go right back to being bright and cheerful. Pianist Shai Wosner joins host Fred Child to talk about the seductively fickle emotional world of Schubert. And Wosner gives a thrilling performance of Schubert's Sonata in A Major (D. 664). Speaking of emotional quick-change artists -- Johannes Brahms used a similar technique in his Hungarian Dances, turning on a dime from brooding reflection to boisterous celebration. We'll hear five Hungarian Dances from a concert last month in Paris.
