A composition with projections of photographs
by Laura Konjetzky
at the Kultur-Etage Messestadt, Munich, Germany
September 29, 2023, at 8pm
“Fading Varnish” narrates in music the fantastic adventure of a grand piano in the wilderness.
At the beginning, the grand piano is a lost foreign matter. Later it becomes more and more a part of nature. Its sound and its music are changing and eventually gaining archaic nativeness.
A piece for piano solo, playback and additional instruments, with projections of photographs.

In 2009, pianist and composer Laura Konjetzky wrote her work for piano solo “landscapes.structure.spaces.”
In 2012 she developed – together with the dancer and choreographer Chantal Gagnebin – a revised, expanded version titled “Spaces.Structures.Changes.” It is also a piece for piano solo but includes choreographed movements for the pianist that will affect the audience’s listening experience.
Hence a new form of the solo piano recital is born from the merging of the perspective of the composer and pianist Laura Konjetzky with that of the dancer and choreographer Chantal Gagnebin.
