From ragtime to music for ballet and film, this program showcases American music in a wide range of styles from four of its greatest composers: William Bolcom, an American icon as prolific as Mozart; Amy Beach, who broke the gender barrier with works of genius; Bernard Herrmann, a New York City wunderkind who took Hollywood by storm; and Aaron Copland, whose music personified the American spirit.

CMS is thrilled to present one of the greatest cycles of music ever created: Ludwig van Beethoven's sonatas for solo piano.

The first program in the cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas traces the extraordinary evolution of his compositional language—from his first published sonata to the heroic "Waldstein" and finally to the "Hammerklavier," the definitive, hard-earned breakthrough to his late style.

Beethoven Piano Sonatas I

The piano trio has long offered composers a direct and personal means of expression, and this program brings together three works that reveal the form from different perspectives. Beethoven’s Piano Trio in E-flat major, Op. 1, No. 1, shows a young composer already expanding the scope of the piano trio, giving each instrument a distinct role and shaping music that moves beyond convention. Czech composer Bedřich Smetana wrote his G-minor Piano Trio during a period of profound personal loss, and its shifting moods give the work a deeply human intensity. Fellow Czech composer Antonín Dvořák’s “Dumky” Trio closes the program.
