The Musical Club of Hartford Presents: Exploring Beethoven's "Tempest" Sonata
What can we learn about Beethoven's 'New Path' from his "Tempest" Sonata? Join pianist Lois Shapiro for an interdisciplinary study and performance of Beethoven's enigmatic Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31, No. 2, known as "The Tempest". Braving the waves, we will enter the early 19th-century world of artistic fervor known as Romanticism; and consider the then-nascent notions of organicism, the Sublime, and the fascination with the Self as we explore this iconic work. Lois Shapiro is a New York Concert Artists Guild Award winner and highly sought-after soloist and collaborative pianist, who has given numerous masterclasses and lectures on subjects such as the nature of musicianship, late-Beethoven piano sonatas, and Robert Schumann’s music in cultural context. She received her musical training at the Peabody Institute, Yale University, and the New England Conservatory, and is currently on the faculty of Wellesley College.
