Widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived, Beethoven is probably the most influential composer in the history of music, having evolved musical form and ideas in ways that are still being talked about to this day. He is most famous for his 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, 32 piano sonatas, and 16 string quartets. Still, today, we invite you to experience all 10 violin and piano sonatas all in one day, with a star-studded line-up, catching a happy and fruitful moment in Beethoven’s life during his classical and early romantic periods. Join this fun event and challenge yourself to complete the Beethoven Marathon!
