Wigmore Hall: Steven Osborne - Beethoven

Steven Osborne (piano) performs music by Beethoven at Wigmore Hall, London: 7 Bagatelles, Op 33; Piano Sonata No 21; 11 Bagatelles, Op 119; Piano Sonata No 32 in C minor, Op 111.

Steven Osborne plays an all-Beethoven recital, live from the Wigmore Hall, London.

Presented by Martin Handley

Beethoven
7 Bagatelles Op. 33
Piano Sonata No. 21 in C Op. 53 'Waldstein'

8.15 - 8.35: During the interval, Consortium Classicum play Beethoven's Wind Sextet op.71 in E flat major. As Beethoven's contemporary, the Viennese piano maker Anton Streicher commented: if the sounds of the piano are to please then, 'they should resemble as much as possible those of the best wind instruments.'

11 Bagatelles Op. 119
Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor Op. 111

Steven Osborne begins his Wigmore Hall residency with a programme chosen to reflect Beethoven's experimental daring and unique creative genius. He pairs two of the greatest piano sonatas ever written with the Bagatelles Op. 33, written in 1802, and the Bagatelles Op. 119, a group of pieces brought together by their composer in 1822 and first published in London the following year.
