Last of Beethoven sonatas

Beethoven fans should not miss this. Distinguished French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet will return to the Forbidden City Concert Hall to complete the Beethoven Sonatas Cycle tonight and on Sunday.

The pianist has played 26 of Beethoven's sonatas in six concerts at the venue since last September. He will wrap up the cycle with the last six pieces including op90, op101 and op106 tonight and op109, op110 and op111 on Sunday.

"I really enjoy coming back again and again to the concert hall in the imperial garden," the pianist told China Daily as he practiced at the venue on Wednesday.
