Prof. Wolfgang Glemser Klavier, Fachdidaktik, Formenlehre

The pianist was born in 1959 in the southwest of Germany and studied mathematics for a few semesters in addition to music after his Abitur. The piano studies with Prof. Vitalij Margulis at the HfM in Freiburg/Br. became so important and time-consuming for him that Wolfgang Glemser trained as a pianist and, after his diploma examination in Freiburg, successfully completed both postgraduate courses at the Hochschule für Musik in Trossingen with Prof. Lvov up to concert maturity. During this time, the pianist also won several competition prizes in Italy and began to perform regularly. In the meantime he has played in many European countries, in South Africa, China and in Central America. His wide-ranging repertoire focuses on composers such as Scarlatti, Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt and the great Russians. His first CD recordings are dedicated to delightful rarities such as piano sonatas by Baldassare Galuppi and the piano works of Sir Charles Hallé. Another CD is dedicated to works by Brahms (including Hungarian Dances). Important concerts in recent years have included two visits to Mexico, Liszt programmes at the Altenburg in Weimar and at the Liszt Museum in Budapest, as well as performances at the Athenaeum in Barcelona, the University of Tübingen and the Berlin State Library. In 2004, 2005 and in autumn 2007 he was in China for concerts and master classes at various universities. Radio productions and concert recordings in several countries, most recently in January 2008 at the RBB.
