Annie Fischer went to Beijing, China in 1980's for a masterclass in Central Conservatory of Music. She visited The Great Wall in the moring and thus was not planned for giving performance in the masterclass, however she still performed Mozart's c minor Fantacy and C major piano sonata for those passionate students from the conservatory. During the same trip she also held a recital in the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing, where she performed Beethoven Sonatas No.8, 14, 16. (According to a friend who attended both events. No concert program has been located at the moment)
