program

This year, Fabio Di Càsola continues the long-standing tradition of bringing an exquisite musical experience to the Thur Valley and the Zurich Wine Country. Together with the renowned pianist Benjamin Engeli, he will perform three works in the program "Sound Poetry."

The warmth of the clarinet shines through in three outstanding compositions: Beethoven's "Spring Sonata" enchants with its lightness, warmth, and lyrical verve. Mendelssohn's Sonata in F minor provides a passionate, dramatic contrast. Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata touches the listener with its intimate melodies and romantic longing. In this arrangement for clarinet and piano, the works unfold new tonal colors and demonstrate the expressive range of chamber music.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy 1809–1847
