Midori & Jean-Yves Thibaudet Pre-show Talk

Explore the sequence of Beethoven's ten sonatas for violin and piano with a focus on the "Kreutzer" sonata with Mark Nelson of the Upper Valley Music Center.

Wednesday, October 19, 2022
6:15pm – 7:00pm
Top of the Hop, Hopkins Center for the Arts
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Arts

All but the last of Beethoven's ten sonatas for violin and piano were composed between the years 1798 and 1803—and they thus immediately precede the remarkable period in which the composer produced such epochal works as the "Eroica" symphony, the "Appasionata" piano sonata, and the three opus 59 string quartets.  This pre-concert talk will offer a framework for an understanding of the entire sequence of ten violin sonatas, and it will focus in part on the famous opus 47 sonata of 1803—the "Kreutzer" sonata—whose scope and bold originality intimate the composer's extraordinary new creative path.
