| Alicia Elsom, Piano | |
| The set of Op. 10 sonata were written only shortly after Beethoven had completed his first fully-fledged sonatas op. 2. The festive opening movement, though seemingly guileless, contains subversive elements, which Beethoven insinuates music that reaches beyond the compass of the keyboards available to him at the time. | |

| I: Allegro | |
| Anna Gao, piano | |
| Known as the "Emperor" Concerto, this was Beethoven's final concerto written for piano, dedicated to Archduke Rudolf, who was his patron, friend, and pupil. The work's military aspects and symbolism characterize its heroic style. | |
