To kick-off the Beethoven 2020 festive year on Beethoven’s baptism day, Tom Beghin is giving a lecture-recital on Frenchness in Beethoven’s piano music at the time of receiving his Paris piano. He will have two pianos present: a Walter fortepiano and the 1803 Erard Frères replica from the Orpheus Institute collection (both by Chris Maene). Duration of the lecture-recital is around 75 minutes, with an opportunity for questions afterwards.
