"One of the defining performers of our age" (Boston Globe), for 60 years Alfred Brendel has moved audiences with his ability to communicate the emotional and intellectual depths of whatever music he performs. Now retired from concert life, the legendary pianist is presenting a series of talks in which he shares his priceless artistic experience. Mr. Brendel will discuss and perform excerpts from Beethoven's piano sonatas, illuminating the idea of "character" in music. Comparing the artist's task to that of an actor identifying with different roles, he argues that in musical performances the perception of character and atmosphere is no less important than that of form and structure.
