Overview

Although Beethoven dedicated his Op. 2 piano sonatas to the venerable Haydn, its musicset markers for the future by breaking with formal convention.

Igor Levit presents theexpansive Piano Sonata No. 2 in A in context with other pioneering works, including twostrikingly contrasting pieces from Beethoven’s Op. 10 set and an experimentalcomposition from his early maturity, the Piano Sonata No. 18 in E flat.

Supported by Simon Ludlam and William de Winton
