Chatham Baroque's first concert of the new season features Beethoven's Opus 1 piano trios!
Pianist and professor at Oberlin College, David Breitman, talks on the phone with Jim Cunningham about the piano trios on the fortepiano. Alan Choo, violin, and Jaap ter Linden, cello, will join David for the concert on October 19th.
David talks about the three trios, which were written in 1795 when Beethoven was 25. David highlights the rare chance to hear the complete piece on period instruments. He also talks about Beethoven self-funding the publication through an early version of crowdfunding.
David talks about the difference between a fortepiano and a modern piano. He himself performs on a copy of an Anton Walter piano, a style Beethoven greatly admired. Lastly, David talks about his work at Oberlin College. He is passionate about introducing his students to period instruments and the value of music education for all.
