Chamber Music in Ballarat | All Beethoven Duo Recital

Violinist Susan Pierotti and pianist Brian Chapman join forces to present a Duo-Recital comprising a rich and varied selection of works by Ludwig van Beethoven.

The concert opens with a perennial favourite – the engagingly melodious “Spring” Sonata in F, Op.24, followed by the composer’s final Violin Sonata – the serenely pastoral G major Sonata Op.96.

After a short Interval the second half of the program will commence with the beautifully conceived Andante favori for solo piano, WoO.57, rarely heard these days in concert but often played by the composer as a favourite salon piece and famously used as such in the hands of Georgiana Darcy in the BBC TV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s most dramatic and heaven-storming Violin Sonta – the fiery and impassioned Sonata in C minor, Op.30, No.2. This is a feast of Beethoven chamber music not to be missed!
