Getting under the composer's skin
Pianist Andras Schiff has spent the last two years performing all 32 of Beethoven's piano sonatas at Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles. He says that undertaking has put him in greater touch with Beethoven. While some think of Beethoven's music as full of heroism and drama, Schiff says he hears "a great gratitude" in it. Today, we'll feature Schiff in Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 31, from a concert in Los Angeles.
