Alfred Brendel, one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, has, over the years, written highly original musical essays. Now retired from public performance, he is presenting some of his most acclaimed written work in the form of lectures copiously illustrated by examples played on the piano. The themes he covers, in three sessions held in rooms of the Salzburg Festival and specially presented for the camera, include humour in music, the role of character in Beethoven's piano sonatas and the realms of light and shade in interpretation. One of the greatest musical thinkers and soloists of our time shares his ideas with us in an intimate setting.
