Beethoven concentrate
Like the piano sonatas and the string quartets, Ludwig van Beethoven's cello sonatas, which are much less numerous, also represent the development of his writing style in a concentrated form: the Sonata op. 5/2 from 1796 is still largely indebted to classical models, the Sonata op. 5 and No. 6, probably the best known of Beethoven's total of only five cello sonatas, represents the middle creative period, often characterized as »heroic«; the two sonatas op. 102, Beethoven's only instrumental works from 1815, are probably his most daring duo compositions: They are idiosyncratic, fantastic formations in which the late style of the last string quartets already begins to prepare itself. This Beethoven cosmos is now presented in concentrated form by Matthias Gredler, who is well known to chamber music audiences at the Vienna Konzerthaus as the longtime cellist of the Vienna Piano Trio, and his partner Stefan Stroissnig.
