TRANSCRIPTIONS OF MY PIANO STUDENTS’ PLAYING

In this solo piano performance, composer-performer Federico Pozzer plays transcriptions of recordings of his piano students attempting to interpret famous pieces. These recordings—captured during one-to-one piano lessons—are filled with irregular rhythms, hesitations, long silences, “wrong” notes, and unexpected dynamic choices.
Federico transcribed them precisely and is going to perform them himself. The result is a tender, strange, and subtly disorienting collection of pieces that hover between recognition and distortion.
Well-known melodies emerge but altered by the fragile gestures of children in the act of learning.
This project treats error as expression and listening as a form of
care. By inviting us to hear the beauty in musical imperfection, both humorous and haunting, the performance aims to challenge what we expect from music, memory, and the so-called “correct.”
