Although anchored by Beethoven’s vivacious “ Appassionata” Sonata, this program takes listeners on a grand musical journey across nearly 100 years of musical development — from France at the start of World War I to midcentury modernism and a thrilling work for prepared piano written at the dawn of the 21st century.
