LOVE AND DESPAIR

Violin Sonata in C minor, Op. 30 No. 2 Beethoven

'Winterreise' (Song Cycle) Schubert

In their fourth year of collaboration Ayşen Ulucan, Marcio da Silva and Francis Rayner will bring you a programme consisting of two intensely moving pieces by Beethoven and Schubert. Beethoven's Violin Sonata op.30 No.2 was completed during a period of anguished state of mind, and is composed in the composer's most grim tonality: C minor. Schubert's darkest and most intense song cycle, 'Winterreise', was written towards the end of his short life. Setting poems by Wilhelm Müller, the work explores feelings of love, doubt and loss.
