Curatorial context

The 'Moments Musicaux' publication captures a live recording from a concert performed by pianist Josep Colom at the Fundacion Juan March in Madrid on October 10, 2018. This program was conceived with the aim of fostering an innovative approach to listening, presenting a seamless succession of movements and individual pieces that form a cohesive whole without pauses. This structure serves to unveil subtle analogies between the works of Franz Schubert and seven other distinguished composers: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and Arnold Schoenberg. Furthermore, Josep Colom revives a largely forgotten interpretive tradition from the past: the use of improvisation as a connective element between written musical compositions. Brief interludes are skillfully integrated to guide the listener smoothly from one piece to another, ultimately forging a continuous sonic experience. The publication is part of the 'MarchVivo' collection and was released in 2022, with the concert itself taking place in 2018. It is presented as a 12 cm audio disc containing approximately 73 minutes and 40 seconds of performance.
