Garrick Ohlsson, piano
Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 24 in F-sharp major, Op. 78 "à Thérèse"
Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat major, Op. 106, "Hammerklavier"
Longtime BSO collaborator Garrick Ohlsson, who performed all 32 of Beethoven’s piano sonatas at Tanglewood in 2006, performs two of the series in a recital from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
Beethoven dedicated his two-movement 1809 F-sharp sonata, Op. 78, to one of his students among the nobility, the Countess Thérèse von Brunsvik. At the other end of the spectrum from this lovely and brief two-movement sonata is composer’s most muscular and ambitious sonata, the four-movement "Hammerklavier". Formally innovative and including a towering fugue in its last movement, the "Hammerklavier" is one of the defining works of Beethoven’s final decade.
Available August 19, 2020 at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific, through August 26.
