Answer To Monday's Brain Teaser
The question posed was this -
In whose world might a pathetic cuckoo attend a funeral march in a tempest, and join a passionate hunt by moonlight in spring?
I was looking for a composer - Beethoven and the question contain the nicknames of eight of his sonatas, all but one of them for piano.
Piano sonata no.8 is the Pathetique; no.25 is the Cuckoo; no.12 is the Funeral March and no.17 the Tempest. No.23 is the Appassionata, no.18 the Hunt and no.14 the Moonlight. And the odd one out is the final one, Spring, which is the name of his violin sonata No.5 in F major.
And here is one of those exquisite sonatas.
Beethoven - Sonata No. 23, Op. 57, "Appassionata"
Piano: William Kempff
Date of Performance: January 23, 1996
