Barry Douglas piano
Beethoven penned the turbulent Op 27 No 1 amidst encroaching deafness. His agitated, restless Op 90 has been famously, albeit perhaps erroneously, programmed as representing 'a struggle between the head and the heart’'. Beethoven dedicated Op 101 to his favourite piano pupil, Baroness Dorothea von Ertmann, with the words 'Receive now what was often intended for you and what may be a proof of my affection for your artistic talent'.
