Music in the Museum

Moonlight
Beethoven & Schubert

Daniel Oslin, piano

Saturday, March 15th at 6:00 PM

Take a deep dive into Beethoven!  His Moonlight Sonata is one of his most beloved and famous compositions.  From the ethereal first movement to its stormy conclusion, the music has been characterized as “unbridled in its representation of emotion.  Even today, two hundred years later, its ferocity is astonishing.”  It has been credited with inspiring composers who followed, from Chopin to Vanilla Fudge.

Among them, Franz Schubert.  After attending Beethoven’s funeral in 1827, within a few months Schubert wrote his Piano Sonata in A major.  The final movement is an homage to Beethoven based on one of Beethoven’s sonatas.

Award-winning pianist Daniel Oslin (New England Conservatory of Music) will grace us with his talent to perform these two masterpieces.
