# Event Details - **Event Name**: Víkingur leikur Beethoven - útgáfutónleikar - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: VÍKINGUR HEIÐAR Á TVENNUM TÓNLEIKUM Í HÖRPU 1.-2. APRÍL. Eftir stórsigra Víkings Heiðars Ólafssonar víða um heim með Goldberg-tilbrigðum Johanns Sebastians Bachs, sem meðal annars fólu í sér hin virtu Grammy-verðlaun, heldur hann nú í könnunarleiðangur um eitt af meistaraverkum Beethovens frá síð-tímabili tónskáldsins, Sónötu í E-dúr op. 109. Samhliða rekur hann þræðina sem tengja þetta einstaka verk fyrri verkum Beethovens, auk tónsmíða Bachs og Schuberts. Efnisskráin er full af ægifagurri tónlist og athyglisverðum uppgötvunum. Hin stórbrotna sjötta Partíta Bachs varpar til að mynda ljósi á hvernig róttækur frumleiki Beethovens undir lok tónsmíðaferilsins átti sér djúpar rætur í tónlist Bachs, sem Beethoven stúderaði út ævina. Með því að flytja saman hina nánast gleymdu sónötu Schuberts í e-moll D566 og sónötu Beethovens í sömu tóntegund op. 90 dregur Víkingur Heiðar fram þá söguskoðun að verk Schuberts, sem löngum hefur verið afgreitt sem óklárað brot, sé alls ekki óklárað þegar allt kemur til alls, heldur fullkomlega mótað, fíngert meistaraverk undir áhrifum frá sónötu Beethovens sem kom út í Vínarborg tveimur árum fyrr. Og sónötur Beethovens í e-moll og E-dúr afhjúpa hlið á tónskáldinu sem stundum gleymist: Hina hlýju, kærleiksríku og söngrænu fegurð sem á í samspili við hið hvassa og eldfima lundarfar sem svo oft er í forgrunni í verkum Beethovens. EFNISSKRÁ J.S. Bach: Prelúdía í E-dúr BWV 854 Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata nr. 27 í e-moll, op. 90 J.S. Bach : Partíta nr. 6 in e-moll, BWV 830 Franz Schubert: Sónata í e-moll, D 566 Ludwig van Beethoven: Sónata nr. 30 í e-moll, op. 109 ———————————- VÍKINGUR ÓLAFSSON OPUS 109 - BEETHOVEN, BACH, SCHUBERT Following the global success of his Grammy-award winning Goldberg Variations, Víkingur Ólafsson takes his audience on a riveting journey to Beethoven’s late masterpiece, the Sonata in E Major Op. 109, tracing along the way its connections with Beethoven’s own earlier sonata, as well as works by Bach and Schubert. The programme offers an array of exciting discovery and awe-inspiring music. With an exploration of Bach’s monumental Partita no. 6, Víkingur illuminates the way in which Beethoven’s radical originality was rooted in his deep understanding of the music of Bach. By presenting the rarely performed treasure, Schubert’s Sonata in E minor D 566, alongside Beethoven’s mellifluous Sonata in E minor op. 90, Víkingur makes the case that Schubert’s work, usually considered a fragment, is indeed a complete and assuredly sculpted gem in the mould of Beethoven’s sonata, published in Vienna two years before. Finally, Beethoven’s two sonatas in E major and E major furthermore reveal a neglected facet of the composer’s musical persona: A warm, loving and sonorous euphony that contrasts the sharp-edged, fiery temperament so often on display in Beethoven’s works.
