Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – The corona crisis makes it possible: For the first time there is an entrance exam at the University of Music in Freiburg, in which applicants from abroad play on the remote-controlled piano. This Wednesday, three pianists in Shanghai and Tokyo will be able to demonstrate their skills on a reproduction piano in front of the examination board. The key movement is transmitted via the Internet to a piano in Freiburg, as the university announced. At the same time there is a video transmission.
The corona-related travel restrictions currently make it difficult for international applicants to travel. Therefore, in addition to a video application, this more complex option was also created, said a spokesman for the university on Tuesday. “The sound quality is many times better.”
With the Disklavier – so the brand name – there are up to 1024 possibilities of how hard the hammer can hit the side. This is a high-resolution precision, which allows artistic differentiation to be captured in the best possible way. The first audition comes from Shanghai (China) with a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach.
