Ever wanted to take a closer look at the music of Beethoven? The Beethoven Files might make that a little easier.
We'll focus on the first two of Beethoven's five late string quartets: the String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 127, and the String Quartet in A Minor, Op. 132.
We'll look at Beethoven's final three piano sonatas: No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109 (1820); No. 31 in A-flat Major, Op. 110 (1822); and No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111 (1822).
We'll focus on two piano sonatas, No. 28 in A major, Op 101 composed in 1816, and No. 29 in Bb major, Op 106 ("Hammerklavier"), completed two years later.
We'll look at Beethoven's last two cello sonatas: Cello sonata No. 4 in C Major, Op. 102, No.1, and Cello Sonata No. 5 in D Major, Op. 102, No. 2. both completed in 1815.
We're going to focus on the song cycle "An die ferne Geliebte," Op. 98, but also take a quick look at two songs from Beethoven's settings of Scottish songs from Op. 108.
We’re going to focus on Piano Sonata No. 24 in F# Major, Op. 78, and Piano Sonata No. 25 in G Major, Op 79, but we’ll also take a quick look at the two piano sonatinas of Op. 49.
We'll look at the two piano trios of Op. 70: No. 1, the famous "Ghost" Trio in D Major, and No. 2, the less famous but still very interesting Trio in E-flat Major.
