Programme Note
Written in 1817, the year of Jane Austen’s death, the Piano Sonata No.28, Op.101 is the first of the series of Beethoven's "late period" sonatas when his music moved in a new direction toward a more personal and
intimate realm of fantasy.
Clara Schumann’s Soirées musicales, Op.6, is a set of six piano pieces composed in 1836. The pieces are written in a light and lyrical style, showcasing Schumann’s command of melody and piano techniques, and it remains one of her most notable works in the solo piano repertoire.
Jeux d'eau has a claim to being the first example of impressionism in piano music. The piece is known for its virtuosic, fluid, and highly evocative nature, and is considered one of Ravel's most important works for piano.
This concert will be candlelit.
Tickets for those attending both this and concert 3 will be available at the usual price for a full-length concert (including a glass of wine or a soft drink).
