Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major,
Op. 109 (3/10/15)
Beethoven was working on his Missa solemnis when
he accepted a commission to write three piano sonatas
in three months for the Berlin publisher Schlesinger. The
first to be completed was the Sonata No. 30, a work
that challenged the traditional forms of its time with a
free-flowing, almost improvisatory opening; an energetic
middle movement; and a finale that is a set of variations.
Beethoven did not meet his three-month deadline, but the
other sonatas were eventually delivered and are among his
greatest keyboard works.

Beethoven’s Piano Trio in B-flat Major,
Op. 97, “Archduke” (4/14/15)
The “Archduke” referred to in the nickname of Beethoven’s
piano trio was Rudolf of Austria, the composer’s student
and patron. Beethoven played the piano at the work’s 1814
premiere, but it proved to be his last public performance, as
deafness silenced his performing career. With the “Archduke,”
Beethoven established the piano trio as a major musical form
and paved the way for the great trios of Schubert, Brahms,
Dvořák, and others.
