This night, we can encounter many poetic and underlying messages. Composers "talk" to us about ideals, role models, poets, and even their own secrets.

"Whether I am a poet—one can never become one—posterity shall determine.” – wrote the teenage Schumann in his diary. The two Schumann compositions framing the programme will certainly help posterity to decide. In the former, Schumann "translated" Byron's poem Manfred into music in a way that Manfred's sufferings also reflect Schumann's sickness, while the latter revolutionised the universe of chamber music so that Zsolt Hamar could even discover a symphonic work in it. Péter Tóth’s Piano Concerto is the imprint of the composer and the pianist József Balog's conversation during a jurying competition.
