Hisako Kawamura, piano
Beethoven’s Op. 27
sonatas are a wonderful pair of left-field pieces, full of unexpected
twists and unusual ideas – not for nothing did Beethoven label them ‘quasi
una fantasia’ (like a fantasia). One became the most famous of all his
sonatas (though he never called it ‘moonlight’) and in both you can
readily picture him at the piano improvising and experimenting as we know
he did. Between these very special Beethoven pieces, Kawamura offers a
fascinating teacher-pupil pairing in Yashiro and Boulanger. She was
arguably the most influential music teacher of the 20th century (her
students included musicians as different as Gershwin and Glass), while he
was a star student from Tokyo who found his musical voice in Paris.
