ABOUT THE EVENT
Between 1798 and 1803, Beethoven wrote nine violin sonatas, but there was a hiatus of nine years before his final work in the genre; the contrast in style with the previous sonatas is stark, reflecting the evolution in Beethoven’s musical voice over that time. Schumann and Brahms, who can be considered to be Beethoven’s successors in the Germanic tradition, wrote their violin sonatas relatively late in their careers. YST Collaborative Piano faculty Lim Yan with long-time collaborator Lee Shi Mei present this programme of three sonatas which share a motivic connection (as alluded to in the programme title), which also appears in Brahms’s Three Intermezzi for piano solo.
