The imposing Sonata No. 29 in B-flat major, Op. 106 was published in Vienna by Artaria in 1819. Though all of Beethoven's final sonatas bore the inscription "für das Hammerklavier" (as opposed to the Italian "pianoforte"), it is to this one that the moniker has become especially attached. His longest and most demanding sonata, in terms of scale this work sits alongside the "Diabelli" Variations, the Missa Solemnis and the Ninth Symphony.
The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim has been active on the concert stage since the age of seven when he made his stage debut in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim is described as "one of the few musicians in the world today who could accurately be describe as legendary".
