David YangNo, this does not mean the musicians will be dressed in 18th century costumes.
Thank you to everyone who attended the talk on “Officium Breve in Memoriam Andreae Szervánszky” Monday, and a special thanks to Jen at Illume Books. Many of you have asked for the link to the striking video of Marta and György Kurtágplaying together. Here it is at the bottom of this post.
The Guardian, in a moving article, wrote:
His greatest desire, he says, is to “lay down next to Márta,” who died in 2019 aged 92. “Márta and I were married for 73 years, but it feels like no time at all. I’m simply waiting until we can be together again.”
The couple’s performances on stage were legendary, literal embraces at the piano, their hands interlocking over the keys, the intimate interactions reflected in the scores – dotted lines dancing between the notes like their arms around each other. Their collaboration amounted to one of the longest and most meaningful relationships in the history of music.
