Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas by pianist Jonathan Biss

[Opus106]

It's a free course for anyone interested -- musical training is not a pre-requisite, and you'll have to sign up for it.

Duplicating the thread here for those who may have missed it in the Beginner's section.

There is currently a Google Hang-outs-on-Air happening with Jonathan Biss.

The participants were invited to ask questions, and some were selected for the Hang Out.

Others can watch it, live or replay, on YouTube.

Although Mr. Biss is facing connectivity issues now, so the participants, from different countries, have begun talking amongst themselves.

He has a long and very engaging essay about Beethoven available on Kindle for $2. A bit too much of it is a review of Schnabel's recordings, but I really liked it.

The continuation of last week's Hang Out will be held today, at 1 PM EDT.
