A (Forte)Piano Duel


Diego Caetano and Mario Aschauer, piano and fortepiano


HSH’s artistic director Mario Aschauer has produced a new edition of Beethoven's Bagatelles for one of the world’s leading music publishers, Bärenreiter in Kassel, Germany.

In this lecture recital, Mario and HSH board member Diego Caetano will present will present fascinating new findings on modern piano and a fortepiano from Beethoven's time.

Witness a Beethoven World Premiere!


After Beethoven’s death, an envelope labelled “Bagatelles” was found among the composer’s papers. It contained drafts for an unpublished set of 12 Bagatelles in which a revised version of the infamous Für Elise was to become number 12. In our recital we present this “cycle” in Mario Aschauer's reconstruction for the first time in music history—a true Beethoven World Premiere!
