I was off to a concert Fri night and enjoyed Opus 10/3, Opus 110, and Opus 57 (The Appassionata). All of it was great. The Appassionata brought down the house. The pianist was fantastic. Flying through the ending so well he got a standing ovation.
After that was intermission and someone had to come out on stage and tune up the piano after that rousing ending. Ira Brillant (one of the people responsible for putting together the book, "Beethoven's Hair") was there. He sat behind me and was asked to stand and get recognition after the concert.
He also brought copies of the Sonatas, the "Beethoven's Hair" book, a picture of the lock of Beethoven's hair, and pictures of Bonn and Vienna during Beethoven's time which they had in a display case in the lobby.
All in all a very enjoyable evening.
