ELOÏSE BELLA KOHN: THE ART OF THE FUGUE
An unfinished Bach work completed, and set alongside Ligeti.
Chamber music | Concert | Adults
The final, unfinished work by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) takes us into a world of unparalleled beauty and ingenuity. Although the manuscript provides no indications regarding the instrumentation for this contrapuntal anthology, its suitability for a keyboard instrument lies beyond doubt. To get a little closer to Bach’s masterpiece, the French pianist Eloise Bella Kohn sets her interpretation alongside another epoch-defining cycle in piano literature: “Musica ricercata”, written by György Ligeti between 1951 and 1953. This concert marks the Austrian premiere of Thierry Escaich’s new conjectural completion of Bach’s final fugue, written in 2021.
