Sonata No. 22 in F major, OP. 54 was completed in 1804, while Beethoven was working on "Fidelio", and between the "Waldstein" and "Appassionata". Tovey, arguing that it has been unjustly neglected, describes the work as "ten minutes of "Beethoven's" most Socratic humour".
The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim has been active on the concert stage since the age of seven when he made his stage debut in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim is described as "one of the few musicians in the world today who could accurately be describe as legendary".
