Say you are preparing an all-Beethoven recital of about 70-90 mins in 2 halves, what do you do? I am thinking of preparing such a recital for a concert that I have been asked to give at short notice (the recital is July - many of you would have seen the other programme I posted previously involving Bach/Beethoven/Debussy/Liszt, but I dont think I can prepare this in time). Anyway, here are my thoughts:Sonata No. 24 in F#, Op. 78Sonata No. 2 in A, Op. 2 No. 2INTERVAL32 Variations in C minor, WoO 80Sonata No. 18 in Eb, Op. 31 No. 3
I play one Beethoven piece, and I don't know the name !
Yeah! Beethoven rules! However, some questionst that come to mind (first impression).1. Do these really make up to 70 min? I think it would hardly be an hour. Or do you count the Intermission? Anyway...2. Are these the sonatas/variation you will definetly play, or are these just suggestions?
I'm planning this all-Beethoven recital for 2013:Fantasie, Op. 77Andante in F major, WoO 57-intermission-Sonata in B-flat major, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier"Fascinating justaposition: I can play the pre-interval works, but opus 106? Good luck!
