{"product_id":"schmidt-kolly-piano-album-music-cd","title":"Schmidt \/ Kolly - Piano Album - Music CD","description":"Franz Schmidt was not only a brilliant cellist, but also a gifted pianist who mastered almost the entire piano repertoire with ease. Nevertheless, he had a kind of love-hate relationship with the piano. His great love was the organ. However, this did not prevent him from writing numerous works for the left hand (Beethoven Variations, Piano Concerto in E-flat major, Quintets). All of these were commissioned by the one-armed pianist Paul Wittgenstein. For two-handed piano, on the other hand, Schmidt left behind only one composition. It is the melancholic Romance, which he dedicated to his English teacher Geoffrey Sephton in 1922. Karl-Andreas Kolly: 'The fact that I have nevertheless decided to set three of Franz Schmidt's organ works for piano has primarily to do with my great passion for his music. And also a little with my hope that in a piano version, his organ works could possibly reach an additional audience.'","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52238496956647,"sku":"CIO5526C.2","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/schmidt-kolly-piano-album-music-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
