(CANCELLED) The Complete Beethoven Violin and Piano Sonatas – Concert III

The celebrations commemorating the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth continue, this time with the conclusion of the complete Sonatas for Violin and Pianoas presented by Andrew Wan, MSO concertmaster, and pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin. The pièce de résistance of this program, the imposing Kreutzer Sonata (named after and dedicated to the French violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer), a veritable monument to romanticism at its most exacerbated with its exalted outbursts, was composed at the same period as the Symphony No. 3, known as the Eroica.

PROGRAM

Sonata No. 4 in A minor, Op. 23
Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47, Kreutzer
Sonata No. 10 in G major, Op. 96
