Kaufman Music Center: What Makes It Great? Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata (broadcast until 9/23/2020)
$15 ($40 3-concert subscription)
Orli Shaham, piano
Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57 "Appassionata"
On September 21 at 7 pm (EDT), Orli Shaham performs Beethoven's "Appassionata" Sonata, and joins NPR & PBS music commentator, conductor, composer, author, and pianist Rob Kapilow for a deep-dive into Beethoven's iconic work for piano.
In Beethoven’s time, the "Appassionata" Sonata was an incredibly radical, cutting-edge, avant-garde work that left most listeners baffled, dazed, and confused, yet today the piece has become completely acceptable, mainstream concert fare. How did this wildly radical music get domesticated, and can we rehear this piece as the wildly revolutionary work it was for Beethoven’s contemporaries?
The broadcast will take place at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific. Presented by Kaufman Music Center and filmed at Merkin Hall, this online performance is available to view for 48-hours after the performance.
Ticket buyers will receive an email with a link to this concert before the performance.
