Weekend of May 23, 2009
The Kreutzer Sonata
But for an off-hand remark, it would have been called the "Bridgetower Sonata." Beethoven's "Kreutzer Sonata" is our featured work in the second hour. Poet Rita Dove (pictured) is our guest, and shares the story of Beethoven's friendship with violinist George Bridgetower, and how it went awry. We'll hear a complete performance of the work by violinist Itzhak Perlman and pianist Martha Argerich.
