Allegro con brio 2. Tema con variazioni: Andante con moto 3. Rondo: Allegro Beethoven’s first three violin sonatas were composed between 1797–98. Although they were dedicated to Antonio Salieri, with whom he might briefly have studied, they show the unmistakable influence Mozart made on Beethoven’s music at the time, as he acquired full fluency in the Viennese Classical style. And in the customary Classical style, they are indicated as sonatas ‘for pianoforte and violin’, with both instruments having a more or less equal role. While the Op. 12 violin sonatas are not necessarily as formally daring as the piano sonatas of the same period, they reveal Beethoven’s firm grasp of how to write idiomatically for the violin, as well as his increasing understanding of how to create a sonata style based on the apparent unification of two opposing forces. The opening movement begins with a bold unison figure, which quickly gives way to a sonorous first subject. In the central development section, rapid passages of semiquavers are passed between violin and piano in quick sequence, making for a vigorous dialogue. The middle movement takes the form of a theme and variations, the theme being audibly based on the opening figure of the previous movement.

    PRESS RELEASE SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE ANNOUNCES 2021/22 WINTER SEASON IN THE SAM WANAMAKER PLAYHOUSE 1 September 2021 Shakespeare’s Globe has announced its Winter Season for 2021/22 in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. The season will feature Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure directed by Blanche McIntyre, Hamlet directed by Sean Holmes, The Merchant of Venice directed by Abigail Graham, and a festive reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Fir Tree written by Hannah Khalil. Alongside productions in the Playhouse, there will also be two week-long festivals (including the return of Shakespeare and Race) and half-term events for families. The Globe will continue to reach audiences at home and internationally through livestreamed productions of Measure for Measure, Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice. Michelle Terry, Artistic Director, said: “As we slowly emerge from a period of deep uncertainty, change and challenge, we turn to these plays to ask some of the most profound questions about who we are, why we are, and what on earth can we do about it. In a quest for love, identity, justice or revenge, these plays are full of people making conscious and unconscious choices that determine either their salvation or destruction. This is a season deliberately designed to tackle the big moral questions and complexities with heart, humour and humanity.” For the very first time, audiences will be able to buy tickets to the main productions in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for £5, with 48 standing tickets available per show. The Globe’s Summer Season continues until 30 October, and despite restrictions and continued difficulties with the pandemic, has successfully welcomed over 86,000 audience members into 150 performances, with only 2 cancelled to date.
