An evening of Mozart, Beethoven, and C.P.E. Bach performed on a nineteenth-century piano.

The fortepiano reveals a remarkable range of tonal colour, character, and articulation, allowing audiences to hear familiar masterpieces in a radically different way.

Witness the drama of C.P.E. Bach and Mozart's fantasies through intricate and theatrical gestures revealed so clearly on the fortepiano. This is followed by Mozart's C minor Sonata k.457, drawing audiences in to an explosive end. After interval, the sweet and light-hearted Bagatelles of Beethoven from Op. 33 ease the mood only to culminate in the exciting and fantastic three movement masterpiece, Beethoven's Piano Sonata in F major, Op. 10 No. 2.
