The Reinhart Beethoven Third Concerto by Larry Rinkel
4 Jan. 2019
“
A very funny and surprising play about a fanatical music-lover and the very rare (and very expensive) LP he has just purchased of a Beethoven concerto with an unusual chord which, apparently, only a few pianists have ever gotten right. I love thinking of Beethoven putting this odd chord in his score because, as the LP collector claims, "when improvising [Beethoven] would lull his friends into a reverie, then to make fun of them he would strike a short, sharp chord." This would be a fun two-hander for any short-play fest. ”
