🎧 Pianist Igor Levit brings an all-Beethoven program to Spivey Hall at Clayton State University on Oct. 31. He tells WABE Arts & Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott how Beethoven's music became a love that never ended, starting at age 4. Levit explains why he built this program to show the boldness of Beethoven's writing, from the revolution of Sonata No. 1 to the "Waldstein," which he says split piano music into a before and an after. He also describes "The Tempest" as a Shakespearean drama and reflects on how he has changed since recording all 32 sonatas.
