Join Professor James Goldsworthy to explore Beethoven's best-known sonata.
Things aren't always as the seem....especially when a composer starts fantasizing, as Beethoven does in his Op. 27 “Sonatas as if Fantasies." Join Professor of Piano James Goldsworthy, for a fascinating discussion that will shed new light on the first movement of the second Op. 27 sonata (Moonlight).
Meter, rhythm, pitches, harmony, key, and form may all work in ways that take us by surprise when brought to life in fantastic new turn-of-the-century perspectives by Beethoven. Perhaps that his ears heard more in his imagination than in reality by the time he composed his Op. 27 sonatas compels us to re-think as we re-listen to the most widely recognized piano sonata movement of all time.
