It was at this time that Beethoven sent to London to the music publishing firm of Salomen for their high quality Collected Works of George Frederick Handel. Lou was old enough to have heard Handel in the opera house, especially Mozarts bastardization of Handels Messiah, which was a staple in the German-speaking world. But Handels operas had been displaced by Gluck, Mozart and finally Rossini, so it had been a while for Lou. The books constituted a refresher course in counterpoint and drove Lou to study Bach. Now fugues began popping up like mushrooms in Beethovens output.
The Piano Sonata in A, Op. 101, written when Beethoven was 46, marked a new way of composing that was to drive his late period. The emphasis is on the finale, which features a four-part fugue.
The instructions are in both German and Italian. The Italian description is allegretto ma non troppo, meaning somewhat quickly but not too much, which is full of qualifications. Its in 6/8. The second subject is in the unexpected key of F# minor. The entire atmosphere is a bit beyond the simply contemplative; its almost otherworldly. This was to be the signature of his late period sonatas. Now almost totally deaf, Lou was free of sounds made by mortal men and their instruments.
The second movement is a dance movement in 4/4 and is marked in Italian vivace alla marcia, which translates to lively in a march tempo. Its in the remote key of F Major until the second theme returns to A. Note the dotted rhythms and the dislocation of the theme to the off-beats. The trio section is in B-flat and keeps the theme hidden by moving it between hands. He recaps the opening without repetitions.
The third movement is simply an introduction to the finale. Its in A minor, 2/4 time, and is marked adagio non troppo con affetto, which translates to at rest, not too much, with affection. It cadences at the end in E Major with a cadenza, leading in a short reprise of the first movements first subject, which then leads by a series of trills into...
A finale simply marked allegro in 2/4 time and A Major. The joy just leaps off the page! This is in sonata format with a second subject in E Major. The exposition repeats.
Its in the development section that Lou unleashes his counterpoint. It turns darkly to A minor, and the fugue begins. And what a fugue! Bach and Handel would have appreciated this.
It recaps in A Major with the second subject in A also. The coda slows down and the fugue almost begins again, but this time it resolves quickly in A. The end is a bit sneaky: you think he is going to end it quietly, but he ends it with a bang.
This is a video of the great Russian pianist Emil Gilels, one of my favorites.
Beethoven: Piano Sonata in A, Op. 101
Heres a special treat for those who want to delve more deeply into this sonata. Its Andras Schiff in another master class.

How did you like the pictures?
Hi Publius!
Today was a lovely day driving around to the yard sales.
Classical radio played the complete “Pictures at an Exhibition” along with commentary on the artist and the pictures that inspired the piece.
Then the broadcast “La Traviata” as performed by the Florida Grand Opera Company.
I know every note of both pieces, but, of course, every orchestra sounds different, so it was a delight to listen to the minute variations in the dynamics and temp, and of course “The Mix”.
Lynn-Dah and I enjoyed it immensely!
