All Five Beethoven Cello Sonatas
Sunday, May 5, 2019, 3 pm
Ronald Lowry, cello
Lois Shapiro, piano
Many consider Beethoven to have been a visionary – along with Freud, Darwin and Marx. He significantly shaped our sense of ourselves as “human” beings endowed with a rich and complex inner life, a will, and capable of reflection as well as action in the world.
In the case of Beethoven, the way we engage the musical experience has been forever transformed because of his music, which continues to inspire us all to take risks and think “outside the box.”
His five, remarkably diverse, cello sonatas span his entire compositional output, and thereby serve as a microcosm of his entire oeuvre, affording us an opportunity to explore a musical process that seems to “enact its own becoming”.
