In his Third Piano Concerto Beethoven opened up a new dramatic and physical scope, pushing the instrument to new expressive lengths. The same maverick energy pulses through the 鈥楥horal Fantasy鈥�, anticipating the Ninth Symphony in its unexpected resort to words in its finale. In Schoenberg鈥檚 tour de force Friede auf Erden (鈥楶eace on Earth鈥�) the composer takes tonality to its limits. Stravinsky鈥檚 鈥楧umbarton Oaks鈥� Concerto is a delightful neo-Classical romp, an elegant homage to the 18th century.
