A larger sound spectrum and greater variety of technical possibilities became a defined ideal. Ludwig van Beethoven and Friedrich Kuhlau were musical giants of their time, both seeking to exploit fully the potential brought by these new developments. Beethoven's Serenade bends the boundaries of Classicism with impulsive dynamic changes and contrasting motifs, while Kuhlau's Grande Sonate Concertante eagerly explores a more Romantic aesthetic, containing an expressive freedom in it's virtuosic writing and rich harmonic textures. The juxtaposition of Beethoven and Kuhlau's music on this recording is inspired by the two composers' first and only encounter in Baden on the 2nd of September 1825. This charming moment in music history is remembered with a canon Beethoven wrote on the text 'Kühl, nicht lau' (cool, not lukewarm), a friendly pun on Kuhlau's name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Serenade in D Major for Piano and Flute Op. 41~Entrata.
