Sonata No. 28 in A major, Op. 101 was composed in 1816 and published a year later with a dedication to Beethoven's student, a well-regarded interpreter of his music, the Baroness Dorothea von Ertmann. Highly romantic, this sonata challenges the performer with complex counterpoint and tonal relationships.

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".
