To put an harpsichord and an fortepiano together in a concert is rare, but it makes sense in a program that pays homage to Beethoven from a less visited perspective: the composers who populated the musical universe of his childhood and early youth, that is, his training as a keyboard instrumentalist. Thus, we will visit various composers  and their transition styles that mediated between the Baroque and the affirmation of Viennese Classicism, starting with the sons of Bach. And for transition styles, instruments in transition: it would be common then, the coexistence of harpsichords and fortepianos. Like tonight, after all.
