Martín García García, piano

■ Reviewing the 2021 Cleveland International Piano Competition for the Plain Dealer, Zachary Lewis wrote: “Four finalists took home rare, hard-won awards, and one of them earned the contest’s top prize. At the peak of one of the world’s most elite musical fields emerged the youngest of the four finalists in 2021, Spanish pianist Martín García García.”

■ “The 24-year old gave a moving performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with The Cleveland Orchestra under conductor Jahja Ling,” praised International Piano (August 2021).

■ “García’s pedigree…is about as good as it could be,” was the verdict of Musical America, which named him “New Artist of the Month” in September 2021.

■ He was awarded with the 3rd Prize at Chopin International Piano Competition, in Warsaw, becoming one of the greatest young piano soloists in the world.

The outstanding young Spanish pianist Martín García García, lauded for his compelling interpretive skills, has recently been invited to tour as soloist with orchestras and in recital throughout Poland, Japan, Germany, and his native Spain.

In November 2021 he toured with Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2; a highlight was the performance with the Warsaw Philharmonic at EXPO 2020 in Dubai under the baton of Andrey Boreyko.

In February 2022 he was soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra in Poznań, Poland; the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 in March with Sinfonia Varsovia at Teatr Wielki under the baton of Alexandr Markovic; Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in Japan at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater with the 21st Century Orchestra conducted by Yukio Kitahara in June; and Mozart’s Piano Concerto KV488 in A major with Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra in June led by Sebastian Weigle at Suntory Hall.

This past summer, Mr. García García performed Chopin and Albeniz at the prestigious Martha Argerich Festival in Hamburg; Mozart and Chopin at the Societé Chopin Festival in the Orangerie of the Parc de Bagatelle, Paris; and Liszt, Mozart, and Chopin at the Ateneo de Madrid, in Madrid, Spain. He was presented on the Master Series by the International Keyboard Institute & Festival (IKIF) at Merkin Hall in New York City.

Reviewing the New York recital, noted critic Donald Isler wrote in the July 17, 2022 edition of New York Concert Review: “Mr. García is an excellent Mozart player!” Of his rendition of the Chopin sonata, Isler wrote “one heard a real understanding of the idiom” and concluded his critique with simply “this is a pianist I would like to hear again!”

In August he appeared in recital throughout Poland, notably at the Chopin and His Europe Festival in Warsaw, at the Valdemossa Festival in Mallorca, and the Festival d’Estiú Ciutadella in Minorca.

This season he made his debut with the Barcelona City Orchestra (OBC) performing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 under the baton of Roderick Cox. November took him once again to Japan, where he played both the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 and Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto with the Tokyo Philharmonic, conducted by Shuntaro Sato. Also in November, he was invited — as one of the youngest pianists to date — to give a solo recital at Suntory Hall, Japan.

He made his solo recital debut at Carnegie Hall on October 12, 2022. From New York Classical Review: “An ambitious, stirring recital… an astonishing pianist of great musicality and indomitable technique.”

Mr. García García has won prizes in several additional competitions, including, most recently, Third Prize and Special Award for

Concordia at Sumner

Best Concerto at the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland. He is the recipient of the 2022 Jeffrey Tate Prize from the Hamburg Symphony. In 2018, he won First Prize at the International Keyboard Institute & Festival Competition.

Mr. García García received his Master’s degree in Piano Performance under the tutelage of internationally acclaimed pianist Jerome Rose from the Mannes School of Music in New York. Mr. Rose called him “one of the greatest talents I’ve seen in my career.”

He is also a graduate of the esteemed Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid, where for 10 years he studied with Galina Eguiazarova, one of the major proponents of the Russian School of piano playing, and was awarded the highest honors, including the Best Student prize by Her Majesty the Queen Sofía of Spain.

Born in Gijón, Spain, Mr. García García began his musical studies at age five; his early teachers were Natalia Mazoun and Ilyà Goldfarb. He divides his time between Madrid and New York City.

Program Notes

Robert Schumann: Symphonic Études, Op. 13

Robert Schumann was a curious child. The youngest in a family of five children, Schumann showed an early affinity for music and began composing as a child. His curiosity also expanded to the world of books and literature, an interest that would have a significant effect on his most stirring piano works.

Schumann’s father encouraged his son’s pursuit of music. After his father’s death in 1826, Schumann began to seriously study the piano, hoping to become a great concert pianist. His fascination with the technical workings of the fingers, combined with his own shortcomings as a pianist, led Schumann to construct a mechanism designed to strengthen the weaker fingers. Sadly, Schumann’s experiments caused permanent damage to his hands and fingers, effectively ending any chance of a career as a concert pianist. As a result, Schumann turned to composing.

It is easier to understand the rhapsodic emotion of the Symphonic Études within the context of Schumann’s obsessive fascination with pianistic transcendence. The composition of the Études — written between 1834 and 1837 — overlaps slightly with the composition of Carnaval, arguably Schumann’s most rousing piano cycles, though they do not share the same joyful exuberance.

The Études are a set of theme and variations, based on a somber opening theme. Each subsequent étude variation builds in intensity and liveliness until the finale which is marked Allegro brilliante (cheerful and sparkling). In composing the Symphonic Études, Schumann was inspired by Beethoven’s heroic symphonies, striving to recreate the fullness of the orchestral textures on the piano.

The work stands among Schumann’s most difficult for the piano, indicative of his deep dive into polyphonic and technical experimentation on the instrument. The grand scope of the

Symphonic Études inspired Johannes Brahms in the composition of his large-scale Paganini and Handel variations and continue to be a mainstay of Romantic piano literature.

Johannes Brahms: Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5

Like Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms showed promise as a pianist in his youth. As a teenager, Brahms used his talents at the piano to earn money for his family, playing in the dockside inns of Hamburg while composing and giving recitals. On the cusp of turning 20, Brahms embarked on a concert tour accompanying the flashy Hungarian violinist Eduard Reményi.

While on tour, Brahms met another violinist, Joseph Joachim, whose more traditional musical sensibilities better matched Brahms’ own. Joachim was so taken with the young Brahms that he introduced him to Robert Schumann who at the time was the leading music writer and critic throughout Germany. Schumann took an immediate liking to Brahms, igniting a connection that would stretch throughout Schumann’s life.

It was during this musical blossoming that Brahms composed his Piano Sonata No. 3 in F Minor. It was widely felt that the piano sonata was an archaic classical form, not conducive to the expansive shift that musical structures were undergoing in the Romantic era. But Brahms pulls out all the stops for his third and final piano sonata, fusing classical architecture with romantic ideology, demonstrating that the sonata form could develop to include Romantic sensibilities.

The Sonata is composed of five movements, a significant expansion from the traditional three or four. Beethoven, who himself transformed the sonata form, once again provides inspiration with the appearance of the “fate motif” in several of the movements (more widely known as the opening of his Symphony No. 5).

The first movement of the sonata is characteristic of Brahms’ contrasting moods and rhythmic complexity. His use of keys and

harmonic development is mirrored in the second movement which is prefaced with a poetic quote referencing “two hearts that join in love,” a nod to the two musical themes that interplay throughout the movement.

The Scherzo juxtaposes flashes of cascading arpeggios with a stately trio. The fourth movement is a meditative intermezzo titled “Remembrance.” Here we have the additional movement not typically found in classical or

romantic sonatas: while it shares many elements with the other movements (listen again for Beethoven’s “fate motif”), it is unique in its use of harmonic sound and function.

The final movement is a rousing Rondo Brahms once again combines pianistic virtuosity with noble lyricism to create an appropriate finale to this musical journey.
