ALEXANDER WAGNER<br />

• COMPOSER • PIANIST •


ALEXANDER M. WAGNER, Pianist and Composer<br />

<strong>Alexander</strong> M. <strong>Wagner</strong> was born on March 31st 1995 and began to play the<br />

piano at the age of five. His repertoire not only includes classical and romantic<br />

works of piano literature but also his own original and imaginative<br />

compositions that have been enthusiastically received by his audiences. He is<br />

now 15 years old and has just completed his first, astonishingly consistent, First<br />

Symphony with the title “Kraftwerk” (Power Station).<br />

<strong>Wagner</strong> is also a talented improviser, a gift which has become rare among<br />

classical musicians today. He can play tirelessly for hours, formulating and<br />

developing the wealth of ideas that continually fill his head.<br />

In his recent recitals he has played works by Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt and<br />

Gershwin as well as his own compositions.<br />

<strong>Wagner</strong> is a pupil of the “Regensburger Domspatzen” Gymnasium where he<br />

sang in the choir until his voice broke. Since 2007, his artistic development has<br />

been accompanied by the composer Franz Hummel who teaches him piano and<br />

composition and who calls <strong>Alexander</strong>, “one of the most talented people I have<br />

ever encountered.”<br />

<strong>Alexander</strong> M. <strong>Wagner</strong> has a wide stylistic range, from popular (though never<br />

trivial) forms, to jazz and radical contemporary expressivity which he often<br />

combines with well-known classical works such as Beethoven’s “Moonlight<br />

Sonata”. This, as <strong>Wagner</strong> says; “well-worn concert favourite” takes on a whole<br />

new cosmos of musical language in his exciting interpretation.<br />
