Premiere at the University of Music in Freiburg. Three pianists play for the examination board, who cannot be present in the Breisgau due to the corona pandemic.
The corona crisis makes it possible: On the University of Music in Freiburg there is an entrance exam for the first time, in which applicants from abroad play on the remote-controlled piano. This Wednesday, three pianists in Shanghai and Tokyo will be able to demonstrate their skills on a reproduction piano in front of the examination board. The key movement is transmitted via the Internet to a piano in Freiburg, as the university announced. At the same time there is a video transmission.
The corona-related travel restrictions currently make it difficult for international applicants to travel. Therefore, in addition to a video application, this more complex option was also created, said a spokesman for the university on Tuesday. »The sound quality is many times better.«
With the Disklavier – so the brand name – there are up to 1,024 possibilities of how hard the hammer can hit the side. This is a high-resolution precision, which allows artistic differentiation to be captured in the best possible way. The first audition comes from Shanghai (China) with a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach.
