Four hands, one sound cosmos: Tal & Groethuysen in Göttingen

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the piano duo Yaara Tal and Andreas Groethuysen will transform the auditorium at Wilhelmsplatz in Göttingen into a resonance space for musical fantasy. Their program Quasi una Fantasia… explores the free form, variation cycles, and sonic experimentation of Beethoven, Schubert, and Carl Czerny.

Virtuosity in Dialogue

Since 1985, Yaara Tal and Andreas Groethuysen have been making music together. The internationally renowned piano duo has recorded more than 35 albums for SONY Classical and has been awarded eleven prizes from the German Record Critics, a Cannes Classical Award, and five ECHO Classical Awards, among others. Since 2014, both have been teaching as professors at the Mozarteum Salzburg.

Beethoven, Schubert, and Czerny in the Auditorium

The concert evening spans from Beethoven's early Eight Variations on a Theme by Count Waldstein to Schubert's variations on a French song and his famous Fantasy in f minor D 940, concluding with two virtuosic works by Carl Czerny. The highlight is Beethoven's Große Fuge B-flat major op. 134 in the version arranged for piano four hands by the composer himself.

Musical Freedom with Four Hands

The orchestration at the piano arises directly from the interplay of two performers. Precise synchronization, differentiated conducting within the duo, and a finely tuned sound make audible how much dramatic movement is contained in a single instrument. Between singable Schubert romance, Beethoven's contrapuntal complexity, and Czerny's brilliant stage performance, an exceptional concert experience unfolds.
