Jonathan Biss:
Starting in 2015, Jonathan Biss and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra have commissioned five composers to write a piano concerto in response to one of Beethoven's. In Brett Dean's A Winter's Journey, the piano soloist begins the piece from within the orchestra, seated at an upright piano with super sordino (or practice pedal). This muffled, indistinct sound may be seen as a metaphor for Beethoven’s worsening deafness.

Erik Bertsch:
Sir George Benjamin studied composition with Olivier Messiaen and piano with Yvonne Loriod. His works for the piano were written during two distinct periods, between 1978 and 1985, and between 2001 and 2004. The most recent work, Piano Figures, not technically demanding and therefore well suited to young pianists, was premiered by students of Pierre-Laurent Aimard, to whom the collection is dedicated.

Célia Oneto Bensaid:
Marie Jaëll (1846–1925) was a remarkable pianist; the first in France to perform Liszt's complete works, and the complete Beethoven sonatas. As a composer, she earned acclaim from Brahms, Fauré, Saint-Saëns... But her most profound connection was with Liszt – for Célia Oneto Bensaid, these two "serve as wellsprings of inspiration; as composers and virtuosos, they embody freedom, self-transcendence, and an avant-garde spirit!"
