about
The 12 Pianists (Die 12 Pianisten) are: Sebastian Bausch, Heike Bleckmann, Dina El-Leisy, Noriko Ishikawa-Kratzer, Anna Kostenitch, Reimi Matsuda, Christine Schandelmeyer, Tatjana and Leonid Schick, Christoph Sischka, Eriko Takezawa, Thomas Turek The 12 Pianists are indeed a unique piano ensemble. The choreographic necessities of putting 24 arms with 120 fingers in the right place, on the right keys at the right time are a major achievement. The spectators will enjoy just watching this. In 1989 a number of young pianists gathered in Germany in order to rediscover and perform music for piano ensemble and to encourage contemporary composers to create new works. In 1996 a new constellation with four permanent members emerged from this group, named Piano4te (pronounced: pianoforte). Their aim was to work in a way similar to chamber music ensembles. Other pianists joined and the big ensemble 12 Pianists came into existence. The starting point for the big-size formation was Sischka's arrangement of Lavignac's Galop-Marche for 12 pianists at one piano. The private collection of scores now comprises more than 700 compositions. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
