How did the composers’ musical imaginations and their signature performance styles influence the development of how pianos would be constructed and sound? And did their contemporary audiences even comprehend what they were hearing? \nFranklin offers a fascinating exploration into the creative minds—and hands—of a quartet of piano pioneers celebrated for their prowess as composers and performers. She concludes each lecture with a live performance of a work by the spotlighted composer. \nBritish-born Franklin has been a featured speaker for organizations including the Library of Congress and NPR\, exploring intersections among classical and jazz music\, film scores\, and the fine arts. \n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \nMozart’s playing was regarded as simply wondrous. Franklin examines his beginnings as a harpsichord player and how he subsequently pivoted directly to the recently developed pianofortes\, creating new concerto styles that both dazzled and confused his audiences. \n  URL:https://rachelfranklin.com/event/smithsonian-associates-great-composer-pianists-mozart/ LOCATION:Isle of Man ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rachelfranklin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Mozart.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250317T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250317T140000 DTSTAMP:20260421T160737 CREATED:20250118T213241Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250118T213245Z UID:4037-1742212800-1742220000@rachelfranklin.com SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Great Composer-Pianists - Beethoven DESCRIPTION:https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/programs/great-composer-pianists\n \n \n \n \n \n Popular speaker and concert pianist Rachel Franklin guides a unique look at the monumental keyboard talents of four great composer-pianists and how their performing virtuosity influenced the piano works we enjoy today. \nWith a legacy of printed compositions but no recordings\, how can we get closer to the white-hot moments of creation and performance when these artists poured out their genius for fortunate and astonished listeners?

While constantly harassing piano makers for stronger instruments and dealing with encroaching deafness\, Beethoven created entirely new piano techniques almost by accident as he fought to express his titanic ideas on the instrument. \n  URL:https://rachelfranklin.com/event/smithsonian-associates-great-composer-pianists-beethoven/ LOCATION:Isle of Man ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rachelfranklin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Beethoven.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250322T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250322T193000 DTSTAMP:20260421T160737 CREATED:20250105T195417Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250105T195421Z UID:3974-1742670000-1742671800@rachelfranklin.com SUMMARY:Rachel Franklin for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: Inside the Classics DESCRIPTION:https://www.bsomusic.org/inside-the-classics/\n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Rachel Franklin is delighted to be the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s Strathmore Music Scholar-in-Residence.

While he only enjoyed performing for private audiences\, many reports show him to have been a mesmerizing player with a piano technique and harmony so revolutionary that it left his brilliant friend Franz Liszt scrambling to keep up. \n  URL:https://rachelfranklin.com/event/smithsonian-associates-great-composer-pianists-chopin/ LOCATION:Isle of Man ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://rachelfranklin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Chopin.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250331T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250331T140000 DTSTAMP:20260421T160738 CREATED:20250118T214959Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250118T220556Z UID:4047-1743422400-1743429600@rachelfranklin.com SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Great Composer-Pianists - Brahms DESCRIPTION:https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/programs/great-composer-pianists\n \n \n \n \n \n Popular speaker and concert pianist Rachel Franklin guides a unique look at the monumental keyboard talents of four great composer-pianists and how their performing virtuosity influenced the piano works we enjoy today. \nWith a legacy of printed compositions but no recordings\, how can we get closer to the white-hot moments of creation and performance when these artists poured out their genius for fortunate and astonished listeners?

He was also a renowned pedagogue\, and he and his muse Clara Schumann taught many students whose playing was subsequently captured by early recording\, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the performing styles of the 19th century. \n  URL:https://rachelfranklin.com/event/smithsonian-associates-great-composer-pianists-brahms/ LOCATION:Isle of Man ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rachelfranklin.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Brahms.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
