Information
Inhalt
In 1792, Beethoven came to Vienna to study under Joseph Haydn. At the end of 1795 he was given the honour of appearing as the piano soloist in one of Haydn’s concerts. Beethoven thanked Haydn for this complement and the significant support he had provided by dedicating his Piano Sonatas (op. 2) to his mentor, who lived in the “Hoföbstlerisches Haus” am Neuen Markt until 1797. Beethoven constructed each of the three sonatas, which were published in 1796, with four movements – an innovative approach at the time.
In this performance from 1940, the German pianist Wilhelm Kempff (1895–1991) carefully unearths the many nuances buried in the opening movement of Sonata No. 2. The piece begins on a light note in A major, but the harmonies change in the second theme, which introduces a minor key, before the initial theme fades away and the music starts developing. Kempff made his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1918, and went on to tour internationally on many occasions. He found fame thanks to his interpretations of Schubert and Beethoven, which stood out thanks to the characteristic brightness of his playing style, and are preserved on a comprehensive array of recordings.
