Description
Moritz Eggert's "Hämmerklavier" is a journey, and the title of the first piece reveals where the journey leads: "Into the open". During the course of the work the pianist and composer leaves things behind, throws off what restricts him, what limits him. The listener is observing an escape artist - highly virtuosic, breathtaking to hear and see. Everything is totally transformed into music, immersed in music, it is as if the body can no longer restrain itself: One foot comes down on the keyboard, the nose does, too, the hands are on the lid: The body is the music. After a return to tradition and a walk through the Arabian world, down it goes, "Underground", with sirens. In the final piece he abandons the mechanism altogether; everything becomes an oral pleasure.
"In its complex cheerfulness, in its contented madness, the work will certainly captivate the connoisseur. - And certainly not just the connoisseur!" (Wilhelm Killmayer)
