Performance by

Marie Leopoldine BLAHETKA  Nocturne No. 1 Op. 46 ▪ late 1840s
   ▪ innovative for its hybrid polonaise-nocturne form

Carl CZERNY  Nonet in Eb Major ▪ 1850
   ▪ a dazzling Classical “concerto” with Romantic warmth—its brilliant piano part accompanied by a mini-orchestra comprising a cor anglais, clarinet, bassoon, 2 violins, viola, cello, and double bass

Fanfare raved, “An explosion of concert fireworks! What a discovery!”

BEETHOVEN  Violin Sonata No. 9 “Kreutzer” Op. 47 ▪ 1803
   ▪ magnificent and notoriously difficult, this jewel of blazing beauty is Beethoven’s greatest violin sonata—arranged for 2 violins, viola, and 2 cellos possibly by Beethoven or by one of his pupils and published in 1832, a few years after his death
