Beethoven's compositional career has traditionally been divided into three periods with the latest beginning around the composition of the Sonata No. 27, Op. 90. A departure from his many other sonata pieces, this work has tempo indications in very precise German, reflecting Beethoven's belief that the standard Italian markings were imprecise.
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".
