Joanne Camilleri playing Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’
The Hammerklavier, regarded as one of Beethoven’s most important works and among the greatest piano sonatas of all time, is definitely a work that should not be missed. Considered as the composer’s most technically challenging piano composition, its first public performance was only documented around 20 years after he composed it, given by Franz Liszt.
It is an extraordinary, colossal work, bursting with heroism, power, pathos, human frailty, and an unbelievable depth of expression.
Programme:
Beethoven: Sonata Op.106, Hammerklavier
