Tim Horton returns to Sheffield for the latest in his popular series celebrating the long musical history of Vienna. Beethoven’s well-known Piano Sonata No.15, nicknamed the ‘Pastoral’, is showcased alongside Brahms’s emotional and romantic Four Ballades, which relate stories through poetic references. Written by one of the 20th century’s most important composers based in Vienna, Arnold Schoenberg, the Suite is a landmark collection of Baroque dances with a difference.
