New Diabelli Variations and Piano Sonatas by Beethoven & Schubert
Rudolf Buchbinder once referred to Beethoven’s “Diabelli” Variations as the “leitmotif ” of his artistic life. To commemorate the composer’s 250th birthday in 2020, the Austrian pianist commissioned eleven new variations on Diabelli’s famous waltz from some of today’s leading composers. For his Pierre Boulez Saal debut, he combines these works with Beethoven’s “Appassionata” and Schubert’s final piano sonata.
