Sonata No. 5 in C minor, Op. 10, No. 1

Beethoven

Sonata No. 6 in F major, Op. 10, No. 2

Meeting a marvel. The 32 piano sonatas written by Ludwig van Beethoven, who was born 250 years ago, together comprise one of the most significant works of art created in the history of music, one that reinterpreted the relationship between the genre and the instrument, wrapping up the development of the Classical piano sonata form and opening the way toward Romanticism. Over the course of nine concerts to be held over two days, Müpa Budapest will present the audience with all 32 personal testaments in the order they were created, with the procession of 32 different performers also serving as a celebration of the storied and internationally renowned Hungarian school of piano playing.

Alex Szilasi is an outstanding expert on 19th-century piano music: he has served since 2001 as the editor-in-chief of Éditions Fuzeau's critical series of 19th-century piano works, and his 2010 recording of works by Chopin was selected one of the ten best Chopin albums in the world. He also directs a Liszt festival in Gödöllő. Marcell Szabó made his Müpa Budapest début in 2017 and since then he has appeared at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, the Wiener Konzerthaus, Birmingham Town Hall and Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie. In 2018, he launched the Russian Music Festival, serving as its artistic director. In 2019, he received the Cziffra Festival's Talent Award. Gergely Kovács is a passionate chamber musician who has performed concerts across Europe with the Orion Trio, which he founded. In September of 2019, he got the chance to perform a solo recital at Carnegie Hall.
