Viviane Chassot gehört zu den renommiertesten Akkordeonistinnen überhaupt. Sie hat mitgeholfen, ihrem Instrument auch die klassische Musik zu erschliessen. Damit macht sie die klassische Musik auch jenen Menschen zugänglich, die sonst keinen Bezug zu ihr gehabt hätten. Geboren wird Viviane Chassot in Zürich. Sie wächst in Wollerau auf, wo das Akkordeon eine grosse Rolle spielt. Allerdings nicht im klassischen Bereich, sondern in Form eines Akkordeon-Orchesters, das es bis heute gibt. Viviane Chassot interessiert sich damals mehr fürs Ballett. Und zwar so sehr, dass es auch beruflich eine Option wird. Eine Ausbildung am Opernhaus Zürich wäre möglich. Da hört sie am Radio ein Stück von Johann Sebastian Bach. Gespielt auf einem Akkordeon. Das ändert alles. Vivianne Chassot ist Feuer und Flamme und entscheidet sich – weil in ihrer Familie nur ein Hobby erlaubt war – für das Akkordeon. Längst ist das Hobby Beruf. Viviane Chassot hat Werke von Haydn, Mozart und Rameau eingespielt und aufgeführt und so auch mit Grössen wie Simon Rattle oder Alfred Brendel zusammengearbeitet. Und sie verbindet Klassik, Jazz, neue Musik und Improvisation. Auch darin also eine Brückenbauerin. Von ihrer Pionierarbeit für das Instrument und ihrem differenzierten Zugang zum Klang, von ihrem Weg zum Erfolg und ihren Rückschlägen und Krisen, von ihrer Arbeit mit anderen Musikerinnen und Musikern und ihrer Liebe auch zur Rockmusik erzählt Viviane Chassot im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Michael Luisier.

C'est un trésor d'une valeur exceptionnelle : sept pièces pour flûte et harpe, composées en 1778 par Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), ont été découvertes dans une réserve de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Une découverte d'autant plus remarquable que le compositeur autrichien affectionnait peu ces deux instruments.C'est en février que François-Pierre Goy, conservateur au sein de l'institution depuis 1995, tombe par hasard sur ces partitions lors d'une vérification de routine. Le musicologue est alors intrigué par plusieurs éléments qui lui rappellent Mozart. L'expertise lève ses doutes : ce cahier est authentifié comme étant de la main du maître, qui l'aurait rédigé à l'âge de 21 ans, alors qu'il est installé à Paris et enseigne la musique à la fille du duc de Guînes.Depuis la découverte, le monde entier s'intéresse à ce trésor retrouvé et les pièces ont été jouées et diffusées, le 22 juin, en première mondiale sur France Musique.Quel est l'itinéraire de ces partitions, vieilles de plus de deux siècles ? Pourquoi Mozart donnait-il des leçons et où en était-il de sa carrière au moment de l'écriture de ces pièces ? Peut-on espérer d'autres découvertes similaires dans le futur ?Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », le conservateur François-Pierre Goy raconte avec émotion sa trouvaille et Marie-Aude Roux, journaliste spécialiste de la musique classique au service Culture du Monde, analyse la portée musicale et historique de ces partitions, avant de retracer le parcours de Mozart.Un épisode d'Esther Michon. Réalisation et musiques : Amandine Robillard. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Claire Leys.

Pianist Stephen Siek served as a professor of music at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where he taught piano, music history, American music, the aesthetics of music, and film music. He is currently Director of the Emeritus College Academy for Continued Learning at Arizona State University. He has performed and lectured at piano conferences for organizations such as the Historical Keyboard Society of America and the American Liszt Society. Siek is a specialist in the keyboard music of the Federalist Era American composer Alexander Reinagle. Reinagle was born in Edinburgh and immigrated to America in 1786, first briefly to New York before settling in Philadelphia and later Baltimore, where he died in 1809. He quickly became an important figure in the musical life of Philadelphia, where he performed at the 1787 Constitutional Convention and attracted the attention of George Washington. Siek will visit the Bay Area to perform the music of this little-known early American on Monday, July 20, 2026, the 240th anniversary of Reinagle's first performance in the United States, at Littlefield Concert Hall at Mills College at Northeastern University in Oakland. Siek joins the podcast to talk about the life and work of this underrecognized American composer.Music: Sonata in D I. Allegro con Brio, Sonata in E II.

Amazon lost 50% of its Czech e-commerce revenue. Not once — twice, in two consecutive years. That's the data point that triggered this conversation. But the more interesting story isn't Amazon's decline. It's what that decline reveals about a region that Western e-commerce still fundamentally misreads.David Cikanek is a Prague-based marketplace expert who has spent years helping brands navigate Amazon and the broader CEE landscape. In this episode, he pushes back hard on one of the most persistent myths in European e-commerce: that Central and Eastern Europe is one market with one strategy. It isn't. The Czech Republic spends per capita are comparable to the Netherlands. Poland has Allegro — a genuine platform giant with 30%+ market share. Romania had eMAG, once called the Amazon of the East, now quietly retreating while a Turkish challenger backed by Chinese money closes in. Hungary is behind the rest of the region in terms of online penetration. These are not variations on a theme. They are different markets.We also get into why Temu is winning the region while Shein is losing, why Kaufland's marketplace expansion raises more questions than it answers amongst the locals, and why TikTok Shop is more likely to be an upper-funnel discovery tool than a structural threat.This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at CEE on a map and thought: same region, same playbook. Spoiler: it isn't.

Un libro per il fine settimana, in compagnia diFederico Iannacconedella libreriaPagina 21di Locarno.

Sie sei eine «kompromisslose Künstlerinnenpersönlichkeit»: Zu diesem Schluss kam die Jury im Auswahlprozess für den «Eurovision Young Musicians»-Wettbewerb. Am 6. Juni wird die junge Pianistin Manoush Toth im Finale in Armenien auftreten. Wie kompromisslos findet sie sich selbst? Ruhe. Das empfindet Manoush Toth, wenn sie am Klavier sitzt und einfach alles stimmt. Und gleichzeitig spüre sie die Kraft des Moments; das Wissen, dass genau dieser Moment zähle. Man wünscht Manoush Toth, dass sich diese Ruhe am Abend des 6. Juni in ihr ausbreiten wird. Dann findet in der armenischen Hauptstadt Jerewan das Finale des Musikwettbewerbs «Eurovision Young Musicians» statt, der alle zwei Jahre von der European Broadcasting Union (EBU) ausgerichtet wird und jungen Klassiktalenten eine grosse Bühne bietet. Im Rahmen der Förderung von Schweizer Musiktalenten bei SRF wurde die 19-Jährige von einer Fachjury als Teilnehmerin ausgesucht. Für diesen besonderen Auftritt hat sie sich für ein Stück von Schumann entschieden – allerdings nicht von Robert, sondern von Clara, dessen Ehefrau. «Clara Schumann wird immer mehr aufgeführt. Aber noch immer zu wenig», begründet Manoush Toth ihre Wahl. Dabei gehöre ihr Klavierkonzert zu den wichtigsten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das verrät viel über Manoush Toth. Und was sie damit meint, wenn sie sagt, dass sie sich einen ernsthaften Zugang zur klassischen Musik wünsche. Weil Ernsthaftigkeit in ihrem Fall vor allem Offenheit und Neugierde bedeutet: «Wenn man die Hintergründe der klassischen Musik kennt, dann öffnet sich einem ein ganz besonderer Schatz.» Sie selbst nahm das erste Funkeln dieses Schatzes bereits im Alter von zwei Jahren wahr. Fast gleichzeitig mit dem Sprechen sei die Musik in ihr Leben gekommen. Und entsprechend vertraut fühle sie sich an, bis heute. Aufgewachsen ist sie zuerst auf den kanarischen Inseln, später im Berner Oberland. Sie und ihre Geschwister gehen nicht zur Schule, werden zu Hause von den Eltern unterrichtet. Paradiesisch sei das gewesen, sagt Manoush Toth. Doch mit dem Eintritt in die Hochschule für Musik Basel stand sie dadurch vor Herausforderungen, die sich anderen jungen Menschen nicht stellen. Im Gespräch mit Melanie Pfändler erzählt Manoush Toth von dieser Zeit, von dem Druck, den sie sich selbst auferlege, von der engen musikalischen Zusammenarbeit mit ihrem Bruder Anatol und ihrer jüngeren Schwester Anouk und von diesem magischen Moment auf der Bühne, wenn alles noch ganz still ist und sie ihre Finger auf die Tasten legt. Die Musiktitel: - W.A. Mozart: 3. Allegro, aus Sinfonie Nr. 31 D-Dur KV 297 «Pariser» (Freiburger Barockorchester; Gottfried von der Goltz, Leitung) - Antonin Antonín Dvořák: 3. Poco adagio, aus Klaviertrio Nr. 3 f-Moll op. 65 (Isabelle Faust, Violine; Jean-Guihen Queyras, Violoncello; Alexander Melnikov, Klavier) - Francis Poulenc: 3. Allegro ma non troppo, aus Doppelkonzert d-Moll (Sylviane Deferne & Pascal Rogé, Klavier; Philharmonia Orchestra; Charles Dutoit, Leitung) - Billy Joel: The Stranger - Franz Schubert: Impromptu Ges-Dur D 899 op. 90 (Radu Lupu, Klavier)

Guest After 11 years at IBM, Brooke Erol left a "great job on paper" to pursue a more aligned, purpose-driven life. She founded Your Best Life Inc. to help professionals find meaning at work, and later Purposeful Business to support leaders in building people-centered organizations. She is the author of More Than A Paycheck and Create a Life You Love, and speaks globally on leadership and purposeful work. Summary In this conversation, career coach and author Brooke Erol explores the changing nature of work, fulfillment, and identity in an era shaped by burnout, layoffs, and artificial intelligence. Drawing from her own experience at IBM, she reflects on realizing early in her career that many people were "chasing the weekend" rather than finding meaning in their work. That realization eventually led her to write More Than a Paycheck, a guide designed to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and agency in their careers. Brooke argues that self-awareness is foundational to meaningful work, yet modern life leaves little room for reflection. She encourages people to intentionally create time to examine what energizes them, what no longer serves them, and which limiting beliefs may be shaping their choices. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes that traditional career formulas—go to college, get a corporate job, retire happily—are no longer reliable in today's unstable job market. The conversation also examines the disruptive impact of AI, especially on younger workers and recent graduates, while highlighting the growing value of trade and skilled labor careers. Brooke encourages people to remain adaptable, continuously learn new skills, and consider side projects or entrepreneurial paths alongside traditional employment. The discussion closes with reflections on retirement, purpose, and identity. Brooke and Jeff agree that fulfillment comes not from stopping work entirely, but from continuing to contribute, learn, connect, and pursue activities that make life meaningful. The Essential Point Brooke's central message is that people must take greater ownership of their careers and lives by developing self-awareness, questioning inherited assumptions about work, and intentionally pursuing work that aligns with who they are. She also stresses that fulfillment and purpose are not luxuries reserved for retirement—they are essential parts of a healthy, sustainable life at every stage.

Michal Král z Pricemania popisuje, že slovenský e-commerce trh je menší než český, a proto firmy mnohem dřív tlačí k expanzi do zahraničí. Za nejzajímavější slovenské příběhy považuje značky jako GymBeam, Be Lenka nebo Shapen, které staví na vlastním produktu a značce. Velkou změnu trhu podle něj přinesly marketplace platformy typu Temu a Allegro, které výrazně změnily podmínky pro menší e-shopy. V rozhovoru vysvětluje i to, proč je podle něj správně zvolený brand a vlastní produkt zásadní pro dlouhodobý růst firmy.

In this episode: • Why self doubt does not disappear even at a high level • How Robert shifted from battling doubt to "dancing" with it • The surprising mindset shift that changed his audition experience • Why learning to work with yourself changes everything under pressure If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!

You know that feeling when you walk off stage thinking, "I can play so much better than this"? In this episode, I unpack three powerful patterns I saw during the Musicians Edge Challenge with more than 300 musicians and why so many performers lose access to themselves under pressure even when they've prepared brilliantly. In this episode: • Why your best playing can feel impossible to recreate on demand • What really happens when a different version of you shows up on stage • Why many musicians keep trying to solve the wrong problem If you're ready to close the gap between how you play in the practice room and who you become under pressure, the Music Mastery Experience is open for enrollment now. Inside MME, we work on performance preparation, self trust, mindset, nervous system regulation, and the hidden patterns that shape your performances. Enrollment closes May 20 and we begin June 1.

In our final episode on Persuasion, we talk about how much more satisfactory this is than the original ending, the purpose of the discussion between Mrs Croft and Mrs Musgrove, the conversation between Anne and Captain Harville, Wentworth's letter, his feeling that he had a moral obligation to marry Louisa and the wrap-up of the story.The character we discuss is Anne Elliot. In the historical section, Michael talks about the British Navy at the end of, and after, the Napoleonic Wars, and for popular culture Harriet discusses various modernised versions of Persuasion.Things we mention:General discussion:Janet Todd and Antje Blank [Editors], The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen: Persuasion (2006)Character discussion:YouTube video: Karolina Żebrowska, Why Does Hollywood Hate Gentle Characters? ‖ Netflix “Persuasion” Review (2022)Popular culture discussion:Melissa Nathan, Persuading Annie (2000)Sara Marks, Modern Persuasion (2017)Sonali Dev, Recipe for Persuasion (2020)Sarah Dass, Where the Rhythm Takes You (2021)Uzma Jalaluddin, Much Ado About Nada (2023)Melodie Edwards, Once Persuaded Twice Shy (2024)Rhombus Media, Slings and Arrows (2003-2006) [mentioned but not a Persuasion adaptation]Diana Peterfreund, For Darkness Shows the Stars (2012)John Wyndham, The Chrysalids (1955) [mentioned but not a Persuasion adaptation]Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games (2008) [mentioned but not a Persuasion adaptation]Creative commons music used:Extract from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sonata No. 12 in F Major, ii.

If you've ever stood in the wings before a performance and wondered how you got there — not in a good way — this episode is for you. Marie-Michel Beauparlant is an accomplished cellist, a mom of twins, and one of the most honest guests we've had on the show. She talks about the years she spent hiding behind section playing because solo performing felt impossible, the guilt of chasing an audition with six-month-old twins at home, and what it actually took to go from dreading the spotlight to being, as she puts it herself, a little addicted to it. This is a real conversation about the inner life of a working musician — and it will stay with you. In this episode you will discover: Why perfectionism and stage fright so often go hand in hand and what Marie-Michel did to start untangling them How she went from barely advancing in auditions to winning two orchestra positions and making finals consistently The mindset shift that led her to remove the word failure from her vocabulary entirely How finding a community of musicians facing similar challenges made her feel less alone and normalized the struggles she had been carrying quietly for years The simple question she asks herself before every practice session that keeps her grounded and motivated What winning really looks like when you stop making it only about the outcome   Want to experience this kind of transformation in your own musical life?

You know that feeling when you nail a passage in rehearsal, and then the harder you try to repeat it, the faster it falls apart? In this solo episode, Dr. Renée-Paule reveals why the desire to play well is often the very thing getting in your way. This one hits close to home for any musician who has ever spiraled mid-performance wondering why their preparation suddenly feels like it vanished. ·         The reason a passage that felt effortless on the first attempt can completely unravel by the third, and why it has nothing to do with your technique. ·         How monitoring your own performance in real time activates the wrong part of your brain and turns you into a spectator of your own playing. ·         Why high expectations belong in the practice room and become an obstacle the moment you walk on stage. ·         A simple 60-second ritual to do right before you perform that shifts your entire relationship with the moment.   Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

You've prepared the excerpts. You've done the mock auditions. You've done everything right — and something still slips when it matters most. In this episode, Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier gets to the heart of what's actually separating the players who walk off feeling like themselves from the ones who walk off wondering what just happened. The answer isn't what you think — and it's more within your reach than you realize. In this episode: ·         Why the problem is almost never the excerpts ·         The difference between preparing your excerpts and preparing yourself ·         What attentional narrowing does to your musicality under pressure ·         The one question that begins to change everything   Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

You practiced it a thousand times. You knew it cold. And then you walked on stage and something vanished. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Renee breaks down one of the most frustrating and misunderstood experiences in a musician's life: the gap between how you play in the practice room and how you play under pressure. More importantly, she explains exactly why it happens and why practicing more is often not the answer. In this episode: ·         Why the practice room and the stage are literally different brain states, and what that means for how you prepare ·         The Yerkes-Dodson law and what it reveals about pressure, performance, and the sweet spot most musicians blow right past ·         Why cortisol is not your enemy but why it makes you blank on passages you know perfectly well ·         The concept of context-dependent memory and why your hard-earned skills can feel strangely out of reach the moment the context changes ·         The question most musicians never ask after a disappointing performance, and why asking the wrong one keeps the gap firmly in place ·         A simple but powerful reflection to try before your next practice session that begins to close the gap for good Are you ready to take your playing and career to the next level and create a life that feels purposeful and joyful?

March is Women's History Month, and in this special episode of Busy Kids Love Music, we explore a powerful and important question: If women have been composing for centuries…why were so many of their names forgotten? Instead of focusing on just one composer, this episode looks at the bigger historical picture — uncovering the social, cultural, and publishing barriers that kept many brilliant women composers from being widely remembered. You'll hear excerpts from stunning works and discover why these composers deserve a permanent place in music history. Featured Composers & Works Fanny Mendelssohn (1805–1847) Piano Trio in D Minor, Op. 11 – I. Allegro molto vivace Clara Schumann (1819–1896) Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 7 Florence Price (1887–1953) Symphony No. 1 in E Minor  Amy Beach (1867–1944) Romance, Op. 23 In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why women composers were often discouraged from writing large-scale orchestral works How publishing, performance, and teaching influence which music survives Why genre bias shaped the way music history was written How modern musicians are rediscovering and performing long-overlooked works Why listening itself can be an act of honoring history Listener Challenge This week, choose a female composer you don't know well.

If you've ever felt your body work against you in a performance, if tension, fear, or a loss of control has crept into your playing and you don't know why, and if you've wondered whether it can actually get better, this episode is for you. Gabriel Radford, Third Horn of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, was diagnosed with focal dystonia at the height of his career. He came back playing better than before, and co-founded the Embouchure Project to help other musicians do the same. This conversation is honest, practical, and full of things musicians rarely hear spoken out loud. What you'll take away: ·         Why fear can show up long before a playing problem becomes visible, and what that early signal means ·         What neuroscience tells us about why the body stops cooperating, and how to reverse it ·         Why rigid practice routines may be working against you ·         The one daily habit that can rewire your relationship with your instrument ·         What the Embouchure Project is ·         And much more!

You walk out of a rehearsal replaying every mistake. You sit down to practice and the voice in your head says, it should be better by now. You open Instagram and somehow everyone else seems more confident, more established, further along. This episode is for that moment. Renée shares a short, honest pep talk for musicians navigating doubt and the uncomfortable gap between where they are and where they wish they were. What you'll take away: ·         Why accepting where you are is not the same as giving up and how that distinction changes everything about how you move forward ·         The arrival fallacy: why telling yourself "I'll feel better when I reach that level" is a trap that keeps postponing your peace indefinitely ·         A simple gratitude practice for when doubt shows up mid-practice not as a feel-good exercise, but as a way to literally retrain your brain's attention ·         How to receive difficult feelings without sinking into them, using the same returning-to-breath logic you already know from practice ·         Why the doubts will come back even after a good day and why that means nothing is broken ·         The one question worth asking yourself when your mind starts to spiral: what will I do with this next precious minute?   If you're ready to step on stage with confidence, perform at your best, and finally feel secure in your playing, let's talk!
