This month's recital will feature Beethoven's 5th sonata in c minor, Op. 10 No. 1. This one marks a return for the composer (since the Electoral Sonatas) to a three-movement structure, which is an important step towards the various forms of experimentation that come in later sonatas. To celebrate this, I have created a program that consists entirely of 3-movement works. And to make the occasion extra festive, I've included works by composers of several different countries.

Here is the program:

Clementi - Sonatina in F major, Op. 36 No. 4
I. Con spirito
II. Andante con espressione
III. Rondo. Allegro vivace

Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 5 in c minor, Op. 10 No. 1
I. Allegro molto e con brio

III. Finale. Prestissimo

Poulenc - Trois Pièces

III. Hymne

Schumann - Drei Fantasiestücke, Op. 111

II. Ragamuffin
III. Soho Forenoons

Prokofiev - Piano Sonata No. 7, Op. 83
