Part 1 <\/strong>From Apprenticeship to Mastery : Sonatas 1 \u2013 21
\nPart 2 Into the Unknown : Sonatas 22 \u2013 32 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rosemary Broadbent<\/p>\n

Of all Beethoven\u2019s works, the piano sonatas cover the longest period of his development as a composer, and were his most personal statements. His first published sonatas already test the boundaries of the style as he inherited it, and they subsequently chart his constant experimentation with structure and musical expression. In his centenary year, study and discussion of the sonatas give us a very accessible way to understand Beethoven\u2019s adventure and his genius.<\/p>\n

Course materials will be provided, but students are welcome to bring any Beethoven piano sonata scores they may have available.<\/p>\n
