Pianist

In its program, the Amatis Trio follows in the footsteps of Voltaire's Candide, who discovers the complexity of human existence on his travels. Mozart's K. 502 reflects the initial lightness of the literary masterpiece, while subtle harmonic shifts already hint at deeper complexities beneath the surface. The blend of struggle and spiritual triumph in Mendelssohn's Second Piano Trio seems like a metaphor for Candide's path to resilience and enlightenment. Liszt's Tristia, in turn, moves the listener to reflect on their own search for fulfillment in an imperfect world.
