Description
UC Berkeley Music Professor Nicholas Mathew will perform Beethoven pieces from the middle and late periods of his compositional life, with a thoughtful and historically informed performance practice.The earlier piano is a replica of an 1800 model by the Schanz brothers.The instrument is part of UCSC’s collection, and is lightweight, with a range of 5 1/3 octaves. UC Berkeley contributes the second instrument, a reconstruction of Conrad Graf’s 1820 model -- a somewhat heavier and larger piano, with a range of 6 1/2 octaves.Beethoven’s style evolved significantly over the course of his life, in a way that influenced the course of musical culture. Equally influential was the piano itself, whose rapid transformations during the early 19th century not only reflected composers’ changing musical values but also made new musical thoughts possible. To trace the intertwined development of Beethoven’s music and that of the piano is our inspiration for this concert. Proceeds will benefit equally the three collaborating presenters. Thanks to the UCSC Division of the Arts for their generous support.
