Francois-Frederic Guy

Programme:
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor, Op. 2 No. 1
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 15 in D, Op. 28 Pastorale
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat, Op. 106 Hammerklavier

A veteran of complete sonata cycles, he has chosen in this programme works from three different periods of the composer’s creative life: beginning with the wild elegance of his first sonata, dedicated to Haydn, through the wit and beauty of the Pastoral and ending with the mighty Hammerklavier, where time is suspended, tangled and reconstructed in a sustained miracle of composition.
