Honens @ Home: Han Chen performs Schubert

Franz Schubert's last three piano sonatas, composed near the end
of his life, are sometimes compared to Mozart's final trilogy of
Symphonies 39 to 41. In both cases, each piece differs in
character, was written in a period of despair, and is almost epic
in scale. 


Today, we'll hear the first of the three final piano works from
Schubert and the stormiest in mood, Piano Sonata No. 19 in C
minor D. 958, performed by Finalist Han Chen in his Semifinals
Solo Round of the 2018 Honens International Piano
Competition.
