Beehovan Sonata Series will be
performed. Like all the series'
sonatas, the four works are for
piano and accompanying
instruments.
During the school year, "I
expect to cover every one of
the sonatas that Beethoven
wrote for piano with anything
else," said Cary Lewis, the
pianist who leads the series.
The first piece Sunday is a
sonata with cello. Lewis' wife
Dorothy will accompany her
husband on the cello in Op.
102, no. 1 in C major. Op. 102
was composed late in
Beethoven's life, when he was
in full maturity as a composer.
The complete command of
his art that the older
Beethoven possesses is evident
in this piece. It has five
movements, two of which are
quite brief. Lewis called the
musical statements "extremely
concise," unified and
controlled.
The cello sonata demands
careful attention, Lewis said,
but aside from that he said he
expects it to be an easy
listening program.
U N L F rench horn
instructor David Kappy will
join Lewis in the F major
sonata of Op. 17. The work
originally was written for the
valveless hunting horn and
bears a resemblance to hunting
music of the early 19th
century, Lewis said.
Nebraska Wesleyan string
teacher Morris Collier will
perform two violin and piano
sonatas with Lewis. They are
the A major, Op. 12 no. 2, and
the G major, Op. 30 no. 3
sonatas.
Musicologist Douglas
Townshend called the last
movement of the G major
work "the closest thing to a
square dance Beethoven ever
wrote."
Lewis currently heads the
piano department at Nebraska
Wesleyan University. He earned
his bachelors degree from
North Texas State College and
received his doctorate from the
famous Eastman School of
Music in Rochester, New York.
He then studied in Vienna two
years on a Fulbright
scholarship.
During the summer, he
teaches at a music camp for
young students at Interlochen,
Mich,
Although all the sonatas in
this Beethoven series include
instruments in addition to the
piano, they all were called
piano sonatas when first
introduced.
In early reviews of the
pieces with violin, Lewis
added, the violin was not even
mentioned.
Each of the concerts will
combine the more
sophisticated of Beethoven's
sonatas with the more
accessible ones, Lewis said. The
cello sonata in Sunday's
performance, for example,
requires concentration to be
fully enjoyed by the audience,
he explained. The other, earlier
works are less demanding.
"Easy to take" is how the
pianist described the flavor of
the Beethoven Sonata Series.,
There are six concerts in
the scries. The Sheldon
presentations are all Sundays at
3 p.m. and ate free. This
Sunday's performance is the
second in the series.
