I have coupled these two works together – albeit from different sources, the Beethoven from a recital, the Schubert a studio recording – because Mr Goode does the same thing on May 4 in Kalamazoo, maybe elsewhere.

RICHARD GOODE
Pianist Richard Goode is internationally renowned for his interpretations of Classical and Romantic music. His 10-disc recording of Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas remains a benchmark in the industry. Goode returns to The Gilmore to perform two cornerstones of the repertoire: Beethoven’s monumental Diabelli Variations and Schubert’s heartrending Sonata in B-flat Major, his final composition for solo piano.
L.v. BEETHOVEN Thirty-Three Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120
F. SCHUBERT Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960
