This month’s featured music:
The piece is an entirely tongue-in-cheek take-off on Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.1 and uses a combination of Tango, Ragtime and Classical music styles to bring an entirely farcical story to life: how a young boy longs to be free of his father’s beet farm, his escape and other antics including the lament of a beet harvesting truck that ends up in a creek.
Those familiar with this Beethoven sonata will hear segments quoted periodically throughout and will recognize the harmonic structure and progression.
