“O Mary at thy Window be” opus 107/8

Sonata in G Major opus 79

Sonata in f Minor opus 57 (Appassionata)

The first two works are optimistic, communicative, mischievous little jewels, and are scarcely known. This is not true of the Appassionata, which Beethoven regarded as his greatest piano work up until the Hammerklavier Sonata.

Michael Leslie, Piano

Beethoven: Sonatas op 10/1 & op.111

A comparison of these two C Minor sonatas - an early and a late work - give an idea of the enormous distance Beethoven traveled – both musically and intellectually – in the course of twenty-five years. The outer movements of opus 10/1 with their terse and disruptive energy show Beethoven in that combative frame of mind familiar through several works in C Minor – the Pathétique Sonata opus 13, the C minor Violin Sonata opus 30/2 and the 5th Symphony opus 67. The hymnic beauty of the slow movement brings relief but not resolution of conflict. The opus 111, however, the final, crowning keystone of the edifice of the thirty-two piano sonatas, reaches out in the slow movement to an ineffable synthesis of opposites, the work speaks of struggle and reconciliation, or in the words of Hans von Bülow, of Samsara and Nirvana.

“Speaking of Schubert: I know of no other work which at first appears so simple, enjoyable and playable, and which on closer acquaintance turns out to be so fiendishly difficult, or in which the process of musical analysis leads to such unexpected results.” (Michael Leslie)

A “Schwanengesang” by Schubert to set one’s hair on end

The bass-baritone Michael Schopper and the Australian pianist Michael Leslie took up the challenge of this grandiose and far reaching collection of Schubert songs for the 2nd Guttenberg Castle Concert. Michael Leslie’s playing, which is subtle and full of nuances (a difficult feat to pull off on the 1855 Schiedmeyer piano at Guttenberg) provided a perfect foil to the rich and powerful baritone of Michael Schopper.
