DAILY DOSE of BEETHOVEN (April 10, 2020)
Beethoven's Pathetique sonata, in 3-PARTS (the second of the C-Minor Series)
Part 3: The slow movements
There is a dialogue between Mozart and Beethoven about {beauty}, in the slow movements of the Piano Sonata in C-minor K457 (Mozart) and Piano Sonata No. 8 “Pathetique” (Beethoven)—movements which sang! Later, Johannes Brahms joined in the fun. So, we also include the slow movement from Brahms’s Piano Sonata No. 3.
This short audio isolates the passages where the great composers lovingly quote their predecessors.

For your enjoyment, we include good performances of the slow movements from all three composers!
