PIAM - Semi-final II: Chopin, Brahms and Liszt

Acclaimed classical music talent scout Antonio Mormone (1930-2017) lives on as the name-giver of the Premio Internazionale Antonio Mormone (PIAM), awarded to the winner of the Italian music competition of the same name. The first edition of this competition, which was held in various venues in Milan from 2019 to 2021, was dedicated to the piano. As part of this competition, Josef Edoardo Mossali (Italy, 2001) performs Frédéric Chopin’s collection of 12 Etudes, Op. 25, and Johannes Brahms’s Variations on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 35, Book II. As an encore, Mossali plays Etude No. 3 “La Campanella” from Franz Liszt’s Six Grandes études de Paganini. This performance was recorded at Nuovo Teatro Ariberto in Milan, in June 2021.
