Richard Goode, piano

Music
Thursday, October 23
7:30 - 9:30 pm (Doors open at 7 PM)
Wisconsin Union Theater | Shannon Hall
Cost: $8-$89
A leader in American classical piano for decades, Richard Goode returns to Beethoven’s piano sonatas—repertoire that earned him a GRAMMY nomination.

A leader in American piano playing for the last three decades, Richard Goode has made a name for himself through his “thoughtful interpretation and profound understanding, prioritizing artistic insight over mere technical prowess” (Bachtrack). Decades after earning a GRAMMY Award nomination for his recording of the complete Beethoven sonatas, Goode returns to the composer’s final three works in the genre, Opp. 109–111, whose technical demands and artistic challenges continue to move audiences and inspire performers to achieve new heights. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of today’s most subtle, pitch-perfect interpreters undertake some of the greatest piano sonatas in the literature.

Program:

  • Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109
  • Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 31 in A-flat Major, Op. 110
  • Beethoven: Bagatelles, Op. 119 (No. 6 through 11)
  • Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111

Richard Goode, pianist - Beethoven Sonata No. 31 in A-flat, Op 110, Mvt. 1
