These are three gems written in 1785, when Beethoven was 14, still living in Bonn and before he had met Haydn. They are remarkable in that, even though there are hints of the influence of Mozart and Haydn, they clearly show the emergence of the original Beethoven style. For example, no.3 in C major contains melodies which were adapted to the piano sonatas op 2. no.1 in F minor and no. 3 in C major, ten years later. But these works are not merely early sketches. They reveal Beethoven’s youthful brilliance, offering both a glimpse into his developing style and a collection of beautifully crafted, engaging works that stand on their own as delightful and expressive music. This is a program which I selected based on listening to the set many times. I'm excited to have it brought into performance. Don't miss it!
