While they may have never met, Beethoven’s and Schubert’s music is tied together in Viennese musical history, so much so that they are buried next to each other.

In this program Carolyn Enger pairs two penultimate works from each composer, Schubert’s B-Flat Sonata and Beethoven’s Sonata No. 31, Op. 110, creating a performance that features the composers at the heights and depths of their extraordinary musical utterances.
