About This Item
Keywords, the title of this two-part concept album, uses the English word InchkeyInch ambiguously it stands for both the piano key and the key. With one exception, the album contains key words from piano music of the 20th and 21st centuries, in a very personal selection with some first recordings. They aim to explore a fundamental question of musical interpretation and composition, Inchhow to address people with music.Inch This does not mean the idea of somehow making music speak. Rather, they are themselves InchspeakingInch works, i.e. piano music that contains explicit or hidden messages, refers to poems, incorporates language, words or syllables, conducts dialogues and dialogues, can be read as a diary or tells entire stories. And it is also the piano itself that appears in InchvoicesInch - whispering, stuttering, calling, hesitating. Lotte Thaler
