Review by Abhijnan Dasgupta

Beethoven's Sketchbooks: The Composer At Work is an exceptional album that offers a unique insight into the creative process of the legendary composer, Ludwig van Beethoven. Presented by Denis Matthews, a renowned pianist and Beethoven scholar, the album is a collection of sketches, drafts, and fragments that Beethoven left behind during his creative process.

Matthews' performance is remarkable, as he brings to life the sketches and ideas of Beethoven with his exquisite piano playing. The album is a treasure trove for classical music enthusiasts, as it offers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest composers of all time.

The album is divided into three parts, each offering a different perspective on Beethoven's creative process. The first part, titled "Sketches for Piano," features Matthews playing some of Beethoven's piano sketches, which were later developed into some of his most famous works, including the Moonlight Sonata.

The second part, "Sketches for Orchestra," offers a glimpse into Beethoven's process of composing orchestral works. Matthews skillfully plays the sketches, which include fragments from his symphonies, concertos, and overtures.

Finally, the third part, "Sketches for Chamber Music," features Beethoven's sketches for string quartets, piano trios, and other chamber music pieces. Matthews' performance of these sketches is simply breathtaking, as he captures the essence of Beethoven's creative genius.
