Sophie Pacini was born in Munich in 1991, her father an Italian professor of literature and her mother a German physician. She began to play the piano comparatively late, at the age of six. However, her outstanding talent was recognised quickly: she made her debut with Haydn’s Piano Concerto in D major in 2000. In 2002, aged 11, she became a student of Karl-Heinz Kämmerling at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. In 2004 she was admitted to the Mozarteum’s institute for highly talented musicians, where she studied not only the piano but also improvisation, aural theory, harmonics, composition and conducting. Since 2007 she has been studying in Pavel Gililov’s master class.
In 2010 Pacini auditioned for Martha Argerich and, after the Liszt Sonata, Argerich approached her, kissed her on the cheek and said: ‘You are very good. Do you know that?’
Afterwards they had a Coke together on the piazza. They talked about a thousand things: about music, of course, but also about many other issues on a young musician’s mind. Sophie got to know Martha Argerich well and a friendship grew. Argerich recommended Sophie to Fou T’song and invited her to take part in the Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano. They arrange to meet whenever possible.
Martha Argerich and Sophie Pacini worked together on the preparation for this, her debut recording of an Argerich favourite – the Schumann concerto, and Mozart’s first great piano concerto, known as ‘Jeunehomme’ after a French keyboard player who was in Salzburg over the winter of 1776–7. Nothing is known of her today, except that the 21-year-old Mozart wrote this remarkable concerto for her.
