The site of GIOVANNI GROSSKOPF, composer and pianist
Giovanni
Grosskopf
has
been
performing
in concerts as a pianist since 1985, and he
loves to perform Bach (also with monographic programs on this author,
following an approach which he illustrated in the paper "Bach at the
piano: a lucky error", Rassegna Musicale Curci, January 1996), 18th
century music, monographic programs dealing with rarely performed music
(some Mozart's concertos in the original chamber music version,
Schumann's op.133, and a program about Grieg's relationship with the
Norwegian folk music, including his op.66 and op. 72, in collaboration
with the Norwegian Embassy in Italy), the 20th century music, and
contemporary music (also premiering some works), both as a soloist and
with other musicians. 
Among the composers he plays most frequently, there are Bach, Debussy, Schubert, Beethoven, Schumann, Grieg and many contemporary authors. He is also particularly fond of all the repertoire of the beginning of the 20th century.
He plays in a duo formed with the clarinetist Alessandro Travaglini. Their repertoire is oriented towards three directions: the 19th century, the first part of the 20th century, and the collaborations with the contemporary composers.
