3. Celebrity Series of Boston presents Emanuel Ax

The two sonatas of Beethoven’s Opus 27, rarely heard together, throw the form’s rules aside: tempo, structure, and flow are at the composer’s whim. Ax pairs the two works with Schumann’s exquisite Arabeske, and his virtuosic showpiece Fantasie in C Major, dedicated to Liszt and published to raise funds for a statue of Beethoven in Bonn. Corigliano’s Fantasia on an Ostinato reflects on an unconventional passage from Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony to create a modern-day showpiece.
