“Post-Heiligenstadt, crossing the Rubicon" refers to a turning point in Beethoven's life. After writing the Heiligenstadt Testament in 1802, he expressed his despair over his hearing loss and thoughts of suicide. Despite this, he chose to live on for his art, marking a transformative phase in his career…This phase included works such as the
"Eroica" Symphony, the
"Waldstein" and
"Appassionata" piano sonatas, and the opera "Fidelio." These pieces reflect Beethoven's resolve to transcend his limitations and redefine the possibilities of music.
Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57 ("Appassionata") is one of Beethoven's most intense and dramatic sonatas, characterized by its emotional depth and technical demands. The work's turbulent and fiery character aligns with the turmoil Beethoven experienced post-Heiligenstadt.
