Cancelled – Music in the Round: Sheffield
Upper Chapel Norfolk Street, SheffieldBeethoven Piano Sonata no. 27 in E minor, op. 90
Beethoven Piano Sonata no. 29 in B flat major, op. 106, Hammerklavier
Tim Horton has chosen two pieces that demonstrate why Beethoven remains the most enduringly brilliant composer above almost all others. The compact 27th Sonata has a gentle easiness to its character, in which the most earnest and beautiful melodies are carried along on a rippling flow of nimble fingerwork. Contrast that with the ‘Hammerklavier’ Sonata, which from its explosive opening statement, sets out to explore the possibilities of the piano in a way that no composer had ever dared to attempt before.

Aaron Parker commission
Bartók Quartet no. 5
Beethoven Quartet no. 13, op. 130 (revised ending)
Lonely melodies supported by eerie dissonances punctuated with sounds of the nature characterise Bartók’s ‘night music’ style. Beethoven’s op. 130, the second of the late quartets, contains an extraordinary palette of dark and light in six remarkable movements. Aaron Parker has written a spell-binding new work featuring references to Bartók’s ‘night music’, and a depth of harmonic expression found so richly in Beethoven’s op. 130. Aaron’s work unites the different worlds of these giants, and raises something new.
