Misha Fomin plays Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms

Next year, 2027, marks the 200th anniversary of the death of Ludwig van Beethoven. In that year, pianist Misha Fomin will complete his prestigious Beethoven project: recording and performing the complete cycle of the composer’s thirty-two piano sonatas. The program of this concert features two sonatas by Beethoven: the surprising Grande Sonate , Op. 7 and the lyrical two-movement Sonata 'Für Thérèse' , Op. 78. After the intermission, Fomin will perform two masterpieces from the Romantic era: Franz Schubert’s beautiful Impromptu and Johannes Brahms’s fiendishly difficult Paganini Variations .
