Overview
Beethoven Sonatas for Fortepiano and Violin Volume 4 (Ian Watson and Susanna Ogata)
Susanna Ogata, violin, and Ian Watson, fortepiano, join forces to record the complete Sonatas for Fortepiano and Violin of Ludwig van Beethoven in four instalments.
The Opus 12 Sonatas that are explored on this final volume are among the most Mozartian of the sonatas. They are, however, filled with Beethoven's inimitable voice, from the assertive Sonata No. 1, in the violin's most brilliant and sonorous key of D major, the pianistically brilliant No. 3 in E flat with its cascades of triplets and sextuplets. Unmistakeably Beethoven!
