Young-Ah Tak has been attracted to Schubert’s music for as long as she can remember. Her first experience of seriously playing a Schubert sonata came at age 12, and since then it’s been in her repertoire regularly. She feels a deep inner connection with Schubert's music; studying and performing it gives her inspiration, much joy, and meaning.
She said "Witnessing his melodies and musical ideas unfolding so naturally and perfectly throughout these sonatas is simply amazing. I feel that his sonatas resonate with the human spirit- its beauty, happiness, sadness, drama, and longingness. This has been a magnificent journey for me as I learned and performed these two different but equally profound sonatas."
