Two grand sonatas in the repertoire might shed light on this issue, namely Beethoven’s no. 8 (Pathétique) and Prokofiev’s no.7 (nicknamed Stalingrad). Was Prokofikev influenced by the maestro from Bonn? And was he indeed able to inherit the baton and compose sonatas that are regarded as descendants to Beethoven’s? Come listen and decide for yourself, at this special concert by PCM piano faculty member Vatché Mankerian.
