Wyvern Music Forestville
Alexander Yau – Piano Recital“Hats off, gentlemen, a genius”
The program begins with Mozart’s Sonata in F major, K. 533, a work of crystalline elegance, moving from the spirited Allegro through the lyrical Andante to the buoyant Rondo finale. Schumann’s Humoreske, Op. 20 follows, a kaleidoscope of moods and emotions, shifting between tenderness, exuberance, and introspection across six contrasting movements. After the interval, Yau turns to Chopin’s majestic Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op. 58, a pinnacle of Romantic piano literature. From the commanding Allegro Maestoso to the dazzling finale Presto ma non tanto – Agitato, the sonata embodies both poetic depth and virtuosic brilliance.
Alexander Yau, an eminent young Australian pianist, has developed himself as a complete musician, incorporating his many musical talents as a chamber musician, conductor and composer. He is currently Associate Lecturer in Collaborative Piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and casual Principal Pianist at the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
This recital offers audiences the chance to experience the inspiration of three great musical masters, brought vividly to life by Alexander Yau.
