Basic Beethoven Blitz, Part II



Whew!  After having worked all night, I have finished the payday chores and errands and have finally made it to the blog.  TG!  Did not think I was going to make it for a bit there.  I haven't worked a nap in yet, but hey, I'm here.  I get brownie points for that, don't I?  At any rate, now that I have arrived, let's see what we have on tap for today, shall we?

This is Day 2 of the Basic Beethoven Blitz as we join Daniel Barenboim in his 1983-84 Sonata-thon of the 32 Piano Sonatas in the order they were composed by Beethoven.  Today's play list is comprised of the following Sonatas:

Piano Sonata No.12 in A♭ major, Op.26 ("Funeral March")
Piano Sonata No.13 in E♭ major, Op.27/1 ("Quasi una fantasia")
Piano Sonata No.14 in C♯ minor, Op.27/2 ("Moonlight")
Piano Sonata No.15 in D major, Op.28 ("Pastoral")
Piano Sonata No.16 in G major, Op.31/1
Piano Sonata No.17 in D minor, Op.31/2 ("The Tempest")
Piano Sonata No.18 in E♭ major, Op.31/3 ("The Hunt")
Piano Sonata No.19 in G minor, Op.49/1 ("Leichte Sonata")
Piano Sonata No.20 in G major, Op.49/2 ("Leichte Sonata")
Piano Sonata No.21 in C major, Op.53 ("Waldstein")
Piano Sonata No.22 in F major, Op.54
Piano Sonata No.23 in F minor, Op.57 ("Appassionata")

You may join Daniel, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Itzhak Perlman over on my tumblr for Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Opus 61 in a live performance as we continue the BBB over on my tumblr, also.  Before heading over there for the Blitz and the Hottie of the Day!, be sure to catch the Denim Delights in today's edition of Men In Jeans down below.  Thanks for hanging around until I arrived, have a terrific Thursday and we will see you here tomorrow.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
