Overview
Llyr Williams presented Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas in chronological order in 2010 and explored them within the space of a fortnight at the Edinburgh International Festival the following year.
His first London cycle continues at Wigmore Hall with a programme carefully constructed to reveal the composer’s revolutionary keyboard invention in the Op. 31 sonatas of the early 1800s and the psychological and formal complexities of his Piano Sonata No. 28 in A.
The next concert in Llyr Williams’s Beethoven piano sonata cycle is on 3 October 2015.
