Tempo is the pulse of music. Since 2018, the Swiss pianist Bernhard Ruchti has been researching and interpreting this pulse—and has brought to light surprisingly new ways of interpreting classical music. The basis is historical research that revolves around one of the most important interpreters of the 19th century, Franz Liszt. Ludwig van Beethoven's great Hammerklavier Sonata, op. 106, is the focus of Ruchti's Swiss tour. He interprets it in the length of time handed down by Liszt himself: "presque une heure." That is noticeably longer than today's average. For the interpretation, it means one thing above all: more time, more breath, and more richness of detail.
Experience Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata, one of the core works of the A Tempo project, in a new interpretation, complemented and contrasted with works by Liszt and Ruchti.
Tickets are CHF 35 for adults and CHF 15 for students.
