Albania’s piano music is infused with rich folk melodies, rhythms and harmonies that have been passed down over hundreds of years. The piano tradition itself is a comparatively recent phenomenon, as prior to the 20th century Albania’s folk tradition prevailed, with a nascent classical music presence emerging in 19th century choral and instrumental ensemble repertoire. Under Enver Hoxha’s communist regime (1944-1985), the classical music tradition was nurtured and advanced. The most talented composers were sent to Moscow for training (until Albania’s détente with the USSR in 1961), and other students, including performers, were allowed to travel to Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Italy and France for studies, provided they themselves posed no perceived threat to the state
