Timothy Kan, Piano
Composed in 1821, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in A flat major is his second last piano sonata. It is one of Beethoven's last explorations of the piano sonata form and architecture. It offers a journey of sophisticated emotions and warmth through its exploration of themes with simple lyricism and varying textures.

Sonata D.894Schubert (1797 - 1828)
        1-2
Yuhao Yan, piano
The G-major Sonata of 1826 was hailed by Schumann as being Schubert's "most perfect in form and conception." Ironically, it was first published in 1827 as Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto und Allegretto, Op. 78 - a publisher's decision, perhaps to make the music more commercially appealing as a collection of individual pieces rather than one large composition. Decades later it would still be referred to as the "Fantasia" Sonata.
