As a "pianist, citizen, European" is how Igor Levit describes himself, summing up in three words what sets him apart as a musician: the ability to think outside the box, the commitment that doesn't stop at the stage door but is an integral part of his artistic persona. Sometimes he addresses the audience directly, sometimes he expresses himself according to his generation on Twitter. Igor Levit is always good for surprises. In his programs as well: After his much acclaimed exploration of the three great cycles of variations by Bach, Beethoven and Rzewski in 2016, he expands the concept in his new programme. Transcriptions of works by Bach, Liszt and Wagner bracket Robert Schumann's "Ghost Variations" - his rarely heard last composition.
