This program contains some of the most reverent, profound music in the solo piano repertoire. Beethoven wrote the Funeral March of his Sonata Op.26 for his longtime patron, Prince Karl Lichnowsky, his conscription in the music reading “on the death of a hero”. Schubert was moved to write this Impromptu over the death of Beethoven, which melodically and sentimentally refers to the first movement of this sonata. On his own deathbed, Schubert wrote his last piano sonata, the D.960, and it is regarded as one of the most sublime sonatas in the entire repertoire.
Program

Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 26
