About This Event
Part three of the Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas series, subtitled "Beethoven as Teacher and Popular Figure," presents the sonatas alongside a conversation at Bargemusic. Beethoven, a central figure whose works bridge Classical clarity and the emerging language of Romanticism, remains a staple of New York's recital repertoire; this installment focuses on his pedagogical influence and public persona.
About Complete piano sonatas
Ludwig van Beethoven wrote 32 mature piano sonatas between 1795 and 1822. Although originally not intended to be a meaningful whole, as a set they comprise one of the most important collections of works in the history of music. Hans von Bülow called them "The New Testament" of piano literature.
