Now playing in this video: 🎵 Schumann: "Sonata op 11"

Giorgi Gigashvili tackles Schumann's Piano "Sonata No. 1, Op. 11", a sprawling, fervently Romantic work born of the composer's passionate courtship of Clara Wieck. Restless and rhapsodic, the sonata channels youthful ardor and literary imagination into some of Schumann's most ambitious pianistic writing.

🌟 About the Artist

Born in Tbilisi, Georgia in 2000, Giorgi took his first piano lessons without ever thinking about becoming a professional pianist. Passionate about singing and arranging Georgian folk and pop songs, he successfully competed in various Georgian singing contests at the age of 12. He did however continue his formal musical training at the Paliashvili Central Music School for Gifted Children and at the Tbilisi State Conservatoire, under the guidance of Revaz Tavadze.
