Professor of piano at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, whose hands were featured in the French film, "The Piano Teacher."
Variations 1, 2, 3. Our first stop is in Vienna, Austria with Professor Christopher Hinterhuber, a celebrated pianist for whom the Goldberg Variations has been a consistent source of inspiration. Hinterhuber connects variations 1, 2, and 3 to musical traditions such as the polonaise, and shows how Bach's music exists in relation to his predecessors.
Interview and performance recorded October 25, 2017 in Vienna, Austria.
