The Genius of Beethoven

55 Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1 1DA

Description

Ludwig van Beethoven – a true genius, and one of the greatest composers to have ever lived – is celebrated in this concert showcasing the ingenuity and inventiveness of his chamber works. The Cello Sonata was written when Beethoven was at the height of his musical powers, beloved by performers and audiences alike. Known as the ‘Gassenhauer Trio’, the unusual combination of cello, clarinet and piano shows brilliant writing for all the instruments and has always been well-received for its use of a popular operatic tune in the final movement. His late String Quartet – with its spellbinding, elegiac third movement, subtitled the ‘Holy Song of Thanksgiving’ – concludes an evening that will captivate, astonish and amaze.
