In his 1911 theory of harmony, Arnold Schönberg wrote about the "melody of timbre", which he saw as a separate dimension of music. All their works show that their contemporaries Ravel and Debussy were particularly adept at handling the colors of the orchestra. And Pierre Boulez, who also became famous through the summer courses in Darmstadt, had some new ideas about timbre. The pianist Elisabeth
Brauss was praised by "Gramophone Magazine" for "the maturity and refinement of her thoughtful interpretations". She is currently establishing herself as one of the most exciting and versatile musicians of her generation. A former member of the BBC New Generation Artist Scheme, she continues to perform regularly with recitals, chamber music and solo concerts in the UK. In 2021 she made her debut at the BBC Proms.
