To launch Classical Weekend 2023, Ensemble 360 presents a recital of Beethoven’s virtuosic music for cello and piano.
Cello Sonata Op.5 Nos.1 and 2 are two early works for piano and cello that provide the perfect introduction to the unique musical mind of Beethoven. Breaking out of the established formula of simple keyboard accompaniment for a solo instrument, Beethoven created works in which the two instruments were true equals. In these pieces, the piano and cello are in conversation and competition, wrestling and supporting one another to create dazzling musical journeys that remain thrillingly fresh and deeply moving.
Presented by Music in the Round.
Take your pick between the 1pm and 7pm performance.
This event is part of Classical Weekend in Sheffield.
