Australian/Singapore touring
program
- Mozart Sonata in B-Flat Major K 281;
- Beethoven Sonata in d-minor op 31 no 3 "Tempest"
- Four Preludes by Jouni Kaipainen;
- Beethoven Sonata in f-minor op 57 "Appassionata"
The lecture title and topic:
"Shakespearean influence in Beethoven's music",
The basic idea of the lecture is built on the much discussed
and doubted comment "Read Shakespeare's Tempest", Beethoven
allegedly gave his friend and assistant Anton Schindler
regarding the musical meaning of the Tempest-Sonata. Paavali
will present though some of the early response as well as
some more recent ways to approach the matter. To connect the
recital with the lecture, Paavali will include in his
recital the "Shakespearean" Sonatas by Beethoven (The
Tempest, Appassionata).

were no idle claims. He is everything the critics say of him
