Join soprano, Eun-Jung Auh and pianist, Chi Yong Yun as they showcase art songs by two of the most significant instrumental composers of the classical era; Franz Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven. The new capabilities of the powerful English pianoforte inspired the development of the Art Song by these two composers. Haydn’s English songs: the canzonettas, left a strong impression on his protege, Beethoven. Beethoven’s An die fern Geliebte (To the Distant Beloved) has long been considered the first song cycle by a major composer, and subsequently influenced the lieder of F. Schubert, R. Schumann, and many others.
