Beethoven’s majestic compositional output did not only open the door to the romanticism of the 19th century, but rather, has continuously exerted its universal influence on every generation of composers to follow, leading into the present day. This program features Beethoven’s piano sonata Op. 101 – a magnificent manifestation of his trailblazing late style – and three works that pay homage to Beethoven in unique ways: the ‘Concord’ Sonata by the great American master of the 20th century, Charles Ives; Ten Bagatelles for piano by “one of our most talented and distinctive…contemporary composers” (Seen and Heard International), Jonathan Dawe; and No. V: Three Bagatelles by internationally esteemed pioneer of electroacoustic and computer music, Clarence Barlow. This online concert will include live introductions by Tetzloff, Barlow, and Dawe, as well as a Q&A with them at the end of the program. Registration is free but required at: bit.ly/KMA21Demio
