Description
At Beethovenfest 2022, Kit Armstrong delighted the audience in the closing concert as pianist in Beethoven’s Triple Concerto. And he is taking on Beethoven’s piano music once again this year. He invites the audience to hear Beethoven’s sonatas from the perspective of one of the composer’s great idols: Johann Sebastian Bach, whose »Well-Tempered Clavier« was an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Beethoven while composing.
