Das Jahr 2020
is the first published recording of
Molly McCann
, my older sister of two-and-a-half years. After encouraging my sister to record her piano playing for years, she embarked on her first recording project with
Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel
's
Das Jahr
("The Year", 1841), a groundbreaking cycle of twelve thematically and harmonically interlocked character pieces depicting the twelve months of the year. Putting aside her usual toil for perfection, Molly embraced a larger conceptual experience, both personal and musical in nature: to learn and perform each piece of the cycle in the corresponding calendar month, knowing the accelerated timeline would push her outside of her comfort zone and require a renewed approach to and understanding of time. With a creaky, slightly out-of-tune upright piano and her cellphone's built-in microphone, the monthly self-recordings began in January of 2020." --
Sean McCann
"And so we try to ornament and prettify our lives -- that is the advantage of artists, that they can strew such beautifications about, for those nearby to take an interest in." --Fanny Hensel on composing
Das Jahr
, Letter to August Elsasser, Nov. 11, 1841
Includes eight-page insert with program notes; edition of 200.
