32 Sonatas in 32 Days

With his Gothic dress, wild hair, and rebellious nature, Ludwig van Beethoven was the original rock star of western music. We present the most powerful recordings of each of his revolutionary piano sonatas — one per day — leading up to his birthday anniversary in December.

Weigh in: what's your favorite Beethoven piano sonata and/or favorite recording?

Tell us why you love a specific recording (or recordings) and we may program them as part of the festival — with credit to you, of course!
