Info zu Schubert: German Dances, Ländlers & Écossaises

Schubert was known in his time primarily as a composer of songs, but he was also a master of the dance form and wrote prolifically for a middle-class society eager for domestic entertainment. He loved Ländler (triple time country dances), the Écossaises (supposedly Scottish), and the rich variety of genial German dances. Viennese pianos of the day produced a sound that was clear and transparent, very different from modern instruments, and in this recording Yang Liu plays on a Steinway grand and a copy of a mid-1820s fortepiano by Conrad Graf, a maker well known to Schubert.

Festival and the Senior Dance Production. She also organized and performed concerts in tribute to Lionel Party in 2011 and to Debussy’s 150th birth year in 2012. Her interests in early music and early keyboard instruments led her to study harpsichord with Lionel Party and fortepiano with Audrey Axinn.

Ms. Liu was born in Fuzhou, Fujian, China. She showed her prodigious talents toward the arts in her youth and started to learn music when she was six years old. During her fourth grade, she decided to devote herself entirely to music and auditioned for the Primary School Affiliated with the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and was admitted with high remarks. Due to highly satisfactory grades, she was exempted from auditioning and was accepted directly into the Middle School Division. In 2007, after graduating from the middle school, Ms. Liu was admitted to the Pre-college Division of The Juilliard School and studied with Victoria Mushkatkol. In 2009, she entered the College Division and has studied under the tutelage of Dr. Yoheved Kaplinsky since then. Ms. Liu received her Bachelor’s Degree for Music from Juilliard in 2013 and is currently pursuing her Masters.
