BEETHOVEN 2027 – THE BIRTH OF A LANGUAGE  

Special project for the Bicentenary of the Death of Ludwig van Beethoven (1827–2027)

 1st Concert

  

BEETHOVEN BEFORE BEETHOVEN

The young genius between Vienna and Haydn's legacy

Keira Piano Duo

four-hand piano

Michela Chiara Borghese - Sabrina De Carlo

 

The first part of the project is dedicated to the young Beethoven, still immersed in his dialogue with the legacy of Haydn and Mozart, but already animated by an unmistakable expressive personality. The sonatas and marches for piano four hands, rarely performed in concert, reveal a brilliant and dialogic writing, in which the domestic gesture opens up to a broader, more theatrical dimension.
