The Power and Passion of Beethoven
The evening starts with a look at
Für Elise: who was she and why did
Beethoven write this poetic music
for her? Then visit the "Moonlight"
Sonata to see how the composer
purposely created a shocking,
revolutionary work, plus the Sonata
Opus 110 written after deafness
engulfed the composer.

There's More to Mozart than Amadeus
Follow the astonishing variety of
Mozart’s music, from the imaginative
Variations on the tune "Twinkle, Twinkle,
Little Star," to the dynamic A minor
Sonata, written following his mother’s
death, to contrasting Fantasies from
Mozart and his friend Haydn. Also
includes the Philadelphia premiere of
the unpublished Six Concertpartituren
by Mozart’s great rival, Salieri.

The Sensuous Sonorities of Chopin
The Romantic Era comes to life with
Chopin, who used the keyboard as a
medium for an infinite variety of tonal
sonorities. Works include the Fantasie
Impromptu, from which the popular
song "I’m Always Chasing Rainbows"
was drawn, plus a Berceuse, a
Polonaise, a very early Nocturne, and
the rarely heard Tarantella.
