Program Notes & Works
Leonore Overture No. 2, Opus 72a
Beethoven's sole opera Leonore (later revised as Fidelio) revolves around the title character posing as man to save her husband, Florestan, from politically motivated imprisonment.
Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Opus 37
For virtuoso performer-composers like Beethoven, concertos were designed as personal showpieces.
Symphony No. 5
