Susanna Ogata, violin, and Ian Watson, fortepiano, joined their rich talents and storied experience to record the complete set of ten Sonatas for Fortepiano and Violin by Ludwig van Beethoven, exclusively on period instruments. Between 2014 and 2018, Susanna and Ian surveyed and presented this seminal oeuvre of Beethoven, culminating in the preservation of this journey with four recordings.

Thank you for joining this formidable musical duo and for becoming a key part—and supporter—of their historic Beethoven Project.
