Music-making Fish A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Nobody knows how music arose, but many believe that at some point in the distant past humanity discovered the beauty of nature’s voice and tried to copy it with instruments that were to hand. Whatever the truth, nature has always played an important role in so-called ‘classical’ music, as has the question of how we can evoke the world around us with the help of music. The relationship between music and nature is examined in the autumn semester of the Liszt Academy’s series for young people, the Liszt Kidz Academy. Right away we venture into a very different environment, going underwater among the fish. The fact is that although the singing of fish is barely sufficient to inspire anyone to music, a remarkable number of composers have written ‘watery’ or even ‘fishy’ music. As to which these are, and why they are what they are, pianist Balázs Fülei, head of the Chamber Music Department at the Liszt Academy, will reveal all, assisted not only by accomplished fellow musicians but Liszt, Debussy and Schubert, too.
