The play with the rules.
After the summer break, the master shows his surprising and witty side. Beethoven breaks expectations, incorporates musical dissonances as punchlines, and seemingly improvises on paper. An evening full of spirit, joy of playing, and bold imagination. Program:
Sonata No. 2 A major, op. 2 No. 2
Sonata No. 11 B major, op. 22
Sonata No. 16 G major, op. 31 No. 1
Sonata No. 13 E-flat major, op. 27 No. 1 (“Sonata quasi una Fantasia”) Martin Nöbauer, piano
Martin Nöbauer, an Austrian pianist, already performed in Chur in the 2026 season in a highly acclaimed and sold-out house. He completely delighted the audience and returns to the Alpine city with the Beethoven cycle in a spectacular manner. Martin excels on modern and historical instruments.

He has won several major prizes, including Classic on Danube (Vienna) and the Hildegard Maschmann Foundation Competition (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna). Other successes include Musica Antiqua Brugge, Mozarteum Summer Festival, Musica Juventutis, and Fortepiano Plus Schloss Kremsegg.
