Sonata... ( late beethoven)
on: September 26, 2008, 09:22:56 PM

  Hi there.. ive been asked to perform a movemnt from 3 different Late beethoven sonatas and for it not to go over 15 minutes...

the only movement i play at the moment are the 1st and 2nd from op 109   adagio expressive and presstissimo respectively...

i think i will stick with the latter... do you have any suggestions for the other two movements which are fairly similar in difficulty?

any suggestions would be appreciated??   Thank you all

  obviously not hammerklavier or op111... couldnt handle them lol.[/b]  ;)

Why not begin with op.110/1, then op.90/2, then finish with op.109/2  :D That would be a great program.

that is the key to the late sonatas?  i never thought of that.  the force of magnetism.  He loses touch with key and gravitates to plain magnetic forces.  Music is no longer under the influence of key alone?  thus more and more silence.

The kind that would have been in his tenth symphony - had he time to do more than sketch it.  does anyone have the entire article here from jstor?  Barry Cooper is one of my favorite musicologists on beethoven.  https://www.jstor.org/pss/855432

ok.  I'm going to guess that the 80 page find (in beethoven's own hand) of the grosse fugue WAS the outline for a 10th symphony.  am i right?  well, it's the only thing recently discovered that could possibly be a previously unknown sketch, right?  And, based on bach's 'the art of fugue.'  Beethoven was reaching forwards and backwards at the very same time.  (the only change being that perhaps trombones would be added?) just wondering.
