Beethoven - Sonata No. 30 in E Major
(Op. 109)
Written during Beethoven’s final creative period, the Sonata No. 30 in E Major (Op. 109) is a profoundly introspective work, both lyrical and transcendent in its emotional scope. In this lecture recital, Julian Jacobson offers insights into interpretation, voicing, pedalling and technical control to help pianists convey its intimate and ethereal character.
