Schumann and Brahms, who can be considered to be Beethoven’s successors in the Germanic tradition, wrote their violin sonatas relatively late in their careers. YST Collaborative Piano faculty Lim Yan with long-time collaborator Lee Shi Mei present this programme of three sonatas which share a motivic connection (as alluded to in the programme title), which also appears in Brahms’ Three Intermezzi for piano solo.TICKETING INFORMATION• Please refer to https://www.ystmusic.nus.edu.sg/event/go-fourth-step-by-step/ for updated information.• Out of respect for other concertgoers, no children under 6 years of age will be allowed admission.
