In the Stubborn Student, Thijs Bonger continues his quest to find connections between Haydn and Beethoven, striking gold once again. Haydn's 88th Symphony, written for Paris, is a piece to savor. Its infectious finale alone is a gem. The slow movement is based on a noble, compassionate theme. And wouldn't you know it, that theme suddenly appears in Beethoven's penultimate piano sonata, Op. 110! It's an incredibly versatile, deeply felt work, in which Beethoven chronicles the numerous illnesses that plagued him and how he managed to overcome them.

In today's episode of An Early Evening Stroll we continue exploring the life of Adolph Henselt (1814-1889), a renowned pianist and composer greatly admired by his contemporaries, including Schumann. He was even the subject of envy from Liszt, who couldn't fathom how Henselt produced such smooth and beautiful piano sounds. After studying with Hummel in Weimar, Henselt moved to Vienna, where he studied under Simon Sechter. He also fell under the spell of the waltz craze that dominated Vienna, with Johann Strauss Jr. reigning supreme. Henselt also ventured into chamber music. Please enjoy this duo for horn and piano and part of a wonderfully romantic piano trio.
