Préludes – Inner Emigration V ID:
Chamber Music
Wednesday, 20. August 2025
7:30 p.m., Church Rougemont
Writing preludes and fugues without thinking of Bach and his groundbreaking Well-Tempered Clavier? Hardly imaginable! Even Chopin and Shostakovich, who – separated by a century – each composed 24 such “pairs” while exploring all the keys of the scale, could not escape this legacy. Yet, both of them achieved something entirely unique: two radically different approaches that Yulianna Avdeeva will undoubtedly bring to life with brilliance. By the way, did you know that the term “prelude” comes from Latin? Prae (“before”) and ludere (“to play”) indicate that the prelude originally served as an improvised introduction – a preamble allowing the musician to familiarise themselves with their instrument while the audience was already attuning to what was to come.
