Leif Ove Andsnes returns to Wigmore Hall in London with a solo piano programme of miniature masterpieces.

The Schumann works include one of the less familiar - one of the Novelettes, Op.21, while the Chopin works on the programme include some favourites - the hypnotic final Nocturne and the optimistic Ballade no.3, one of his more extended works. Before Schumann's well-known Scenes from Childhood, Leif Ove Andsnes plays the contrasting sounds of Gy脙露rgy Kurt脙隆g's Jatekok - 'Games', which aim to capture the spirit of a child at play.
