Variations / Bagatelle

Variations / Bagatelle

The young pianist Olli Mustonen relies on exaggerated articulation in this collection of little-known Beethoven--a very interesting program. Is Mustonen trying to duplicate the sound of a fortepiano? (If so, he should have used one.) Or is he just trying out new effects at the keyboard? But the results of this playing style have to be heard to be disbelieved. It takes your attention away from the music and focuses it firmly on the pianist, which may well be his idea. --Leslie Gerber
