A media channel with pianist Henrik Kilhamn

Access to musical knowledge

The possibilities of communication with the advent of our digital age were unimaginable just a few decades ago. Today we can interact daily with people on the other side of the planet, via video, on a device that fits in our pocket! The platforms that make this possible serve as incredible tools for a further spread, development and cultivation of human knowledge in all its forms.

Classical music is one of those things that requires some cultivation. In contrast to popular music that speaks to us on a basic level, classical music is more complex, dynamic, refined, intimate and expressive in many more ways. In order to achieve all this, it demands more from its listener. So in order to experience its full greatness, you need to be familiar with the styles and forms it operates within.

I have learnt this “the hard way” by practicing piano for thousands of hours, but I believe the knowledge can be accessed much more easily. Sonata Secrets is my attempt to provide a guidance and curation of the music so that it can be savored in full.
