Casual Concert: Pessimistic, yet Playful: A pair of early Sonatas by Beethoven and Prokofiev

Come have a listen to some Beethoven and Prokofiev, but from a time early on in their compositional careers. These are sonatas as steeped in convention as they are in new ideas, as youthful as they are mature, and as somber as they are silly. Basically, come to hear some contrast, and hopefully have a good time while doing so.
Program:
Beethoven - Sonata in D Major, Op. 10 No 3:
I. Presto
II. Largo
III. Menuetto: Allegro
IV: Rondo: Allegro
Prokofiev - Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 14:
I. Allegro, ma non troppo - Più mosso - Tempo primo
II. Scherzo. Allegro marcato
III. Andante
IV. Vivace - Moderato - Vivace
