Program and Artist Information:
Though Beethoven began his compositional career by attempting to imitate the forms, procedures, and language of his predecessors, he couldn’t help but be unique. The Waldstein Sonata replaces the polite, private, amateur world of previous sonatas with dramatic, public, virtuosic music of symphonic scope.
Gorenman displays “fluid, effortless technique, rhythmic acuity and alertness, and genuine musical insight and feeling.” ~The San Francisco Chronicle
