Honens @ Home: Aristo Sham performs Beethoven

This week, we are headed to the 2018 Honens International Piano
Competition for a performance from Semifinalist Aristo
Sham. 


Beethoven's Sonata No. 4 in F-sharp Major Op. 78 is a rare,
two-movement sonata that poses a challenge to the performer
because it demands clarity and lightness as well as powerful and
fast playing. Like Moonlight and Waldstein, this is a Beethoven
piano sonata with a nickname. 


Let's listen as Jon Kimura Parker tells us more.
