Fall@Longy Masterclass - Six Degrees of Beethoven, Rieko Aizawa

Masterclass Information

Six Degrees of Beethoven
7 pm Thursday, November 12, 2020
Interactive Masterclass (Zoom)
Rieko Aizawa, piano

Happy 250th birthday, Beethoven! Let’s reexamine this icon who pushed the limits of music and inspired countless composers to follow in his footsteps. Take a panoramic look at his sonatas through the eyes of a pianist, a chamber musician, and a conductor. Fun fact: surprisingly only four hops generationally and…Aizawa studied with Horszowski, who studied with Leschetizky, who studied with Czerny, who studied with Beethoven!
