from Oannes *

Ακούμε τον Alfred Brendel στο δεύτερο [00:00] και τρίτο [03:09] μέρος της Σονάτας για πιάνο Νo. 26 σε Μι Ύφεση Μείζονα, Op. 81 A, ‘Les Adieux’. Πρόκειται για σύνθεση του 1810, στο μεταίχμιο δεύτερης και της τρίτης περιόδου του LVB.
Ο τίτλος του έργου όπως και των τριών μερών του [‘Lebewohl’ – αποχαιρετισμός, ‘Abwesenheit’ – απουσία και ‘Wiedersehen’ – επανασύνδεση] υποδηλώνουν την προγραμματική του φύση, αν και το πρόσωπο στο οποίο αναφέρονται παραμένει αδιευκρίνιστο.

✻

We hear Alfred Brendel on the second [00:00] and third [03:09] part of the Sonata for Piano No. 26 in E Flat Major, Op. 81 A, ‘Les Adieux’. This is a 1810 composition, on the verge of LVB ’s second and third periods.
The title of the work as well as its three parts’ ones [‘Lebewohl’ – farewell, ‘Abwesenheit’ – absence and ‘Wiedersehen’ – reunion] suggest its programmatic nature, although the person to whom they refer is left unclear.

Enjoy!
