The 6 pieces are filled with emotion\, highs and lows\, and showcase the incredible skill of the composer. Another masterpiece of the solo piano repertoire is Brahms’s grand third piano sonata\, written at the age of 20\, unusually written with 5 movements instead of the more common three or four. Brahms had huge admiration for Beethoven\, and composed this work with both romantic and classical styles\, even including a nod to Beethoven's famous 9th symphony motif in several of the movements. A hugely demanding work\, this works conveys a range of expressions and styles for the performer.\n\n\nFREE ENTRY  for the festival’s participants.\n\n\n\n\n[AIGetTwitterFeeds ai_username='PianoWeekFest' ai_numberoftweets='3' ai_tweet_title='Your Title']
