As part of «Piano Compact», Angela Hewitt plays five concerts in Ernen within three days.
Domenico Scarlatti:
Piano Sonata A major K. 322 («Allegro»)
Piano Sonata D major K. 145
Piano Sonata D minor K. 417 («Fuga. Allegro moderato»)
Piano Sonata C major K. 460 («Allegro»)
Piano Sonata F minor K. 519 («Allegro assai»)
Piano Sonata F minor K. 466 («Andante moderato»)
Johannes Brahms: Piano Sonata no. 3 F minor op. 5
Duration approx. 70 minutes
The final recital in Angela Hewitt's five-part concert series juxtaposes a selection of sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti with the substantial third piano sonata by Johannes Brahms.
While Scarlatti created compact character pieces with his sonatas, Brahms had a grand concept in mind in his dialogue with Beethoven's and Schumann's sonatas. However, Brahms combined the autobiographical references and emotional depth with a classical clarity that still today makes the work one of the most impressive examples of Romantic piano literature.
