Summary
In this episode of The Piano Pod, we are joined by composer, conductor, & Music Director at Univeristy of Cologne, Michael Ostrzyga His work spans composition, conducting, editorial scholarship, and large-scale projects — but this conversation centers on his piano writing, especially his recent solo album Perseus. Together, we explore how music begins — whether from structure, memory, or sound itself — and how these ideas shape a body of work that moves between tradition and exploration. We also discuss his pedagogical work Der singende Wind, his early musical formation, and his recent arrangement of Beethoven’s Mass in C for four-hand piano and harmonium, commissioned by the Harvard Choruses. This episode offers a deeper look into the relationship between structure and intuition, and how personal experience finds its way into music. 📖 Read our blog 🌐 Michael Ostrzyga — Official Website 🎧 Listen to his music ( Spotify ): 💿 Album — Perseus 📘 Der singende Wind - the Singing Wind (Breitkopf & Härtel): 🎼 Beethoven Mass in C arrangement - article 🎥 Harvard performance of Beethoven's Mass in C [THE PIANO POD] 💖 Become a VIP Member / Unlock Exclusive Content 🎵 Season 6 Piano Playlist (piano music mentioned in Season 6) 📫 Join Our Newsletter 🌐 Website 📱 Follow The Piano Pod Instagram: https://instagram.com/thepianopod Facebook: https://facebook.com/thepianopod TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@thepianopod 🔗 All Links: https://linktr.ee/thepianopod
