Beethoven's Sonata in C minor, Op. 111
The C minor Sonata, written in 1822, was the last of Beethoven's sonatas. It was also his crowning achievement in sonata form, for it embraces not only the technical experience of a lifetime but also the maturity of thought of one of the two greatest musical imaginations of all time.
Unlike the classical sonata, this work is divided into only two movements : the first begins with a slow and majestic introduction that is followed by a powerful allegro, one of the chief features of which is the ingenious fugal writing. The second movement is a truly magnificent set of variations on a very beautiful theme, which Beethoven describes as an arietta.
Symphony No. 2, in D minor played by the BBC Orchestra
Leader, Paul Beard
Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult
Dvorak's Symphony No. 2, in D minor, really the seventh of his symphonies, was composed in 1883-85 for the Royal Philharmonic Society, and Dvorak came to London to conduct the first performance in April, 1885.
It is a magnificent work, a finer achievement than the better-known Fourth and Fifth (' New World Symphonies. It shows Dvorak in a serious mood, and in intellectual power it bears an affinity to the symphonies of Brahms.
