Ingrid Marsoner, piano

Following up to her recording of piano concertos by J. N. Hummel and L. v. Beethoven, Austrian pianist Ingrid Marsoner is now p re- senting her interpretations of late piano sonatas by Beethoven. Marsoner’s subtle yet vigorous play is opening with the Sonata No. 28 in A major Op. 101. The Rondo alla ingharese, quasi un capriccio Op. 129 is better know by its popular name “Rage over a Lost Penny” and is as an early work like the “lighter” Sonata No. 24 in F sharp major Op. 78 a welcoming intermezzo and an interesti ng contrast to the somewhat more profound late sonatas. As such the Sonata No. 32 in C minor Op. 111 symbolises this world and the hereafter with its two very dissenting movements.
