Voici le prr volume d\’un cycle projet? de l\’int?grale des Sonate pour piano de Beethoven par le jeune pianiste italien Christian Leotta. N? ? Catania, en Italie, M. Leotta a fait des Sonates pour piano de Beethoven sa sp?cialit?. Lors d\’une prestation en 2002 ? Montr?al, ? seulement 22 ans, Christian Leotta est devenu le plus jeune pianiste depuis Daniel Barenboim ? entreprendre en une s?rie de r?citals les 32 sonates pour piano de Beethoven. Depuis, il a compl?t? avec succ?s dix cycles complets, dans des grands centres musicaux tels que Madrid, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro, Vancouver, Venise et Qu?bec, aussi bien que dans son pays natal. ?l?ve de Karl Ulrich Schnabel, il a aussi ?tudi? au conservatoire de Milan, ? la Fondation internationale de piano au lac de C?me et avec Rosalyn Tureck ? la Tureck Bach Research Foundation d\’Oxford. En Avril 2004, il a re?u la prestigieuse M?daille du Pr?sident de la R?publique d\’Italie pour souligner ses interpr?tations des 32 Sonates pour piano de Beethoven en Europe et dans les Am?riques. Les Sonates pour piano de Beethoven s\’?chelonnent de 1794 ? 1823 et t?moignent parfaitement de l\’?volution du g?nie de son auteur, depuis les sonates de jeunesse, encore redevables de Mozart, Clementi ou Dussek, jusqu\’aux formes strictes et concises des derniers chefs-d\’?uvre, en passant par les « exp?ntations » de la p?riode m?diane. Les ?uvres de ce bo?tier de deux disques s\’?chelonnent de l\’opus 13, dite « Path?tique » (compos?e en 1798, quand Beethoven avait environ l\’?ge qu\’a pr?sentement M. Leotta), ? la derni?re du cycle, l\’opus 111.

\»I was struck by Christian Leotta\’s strict adherence to Beethoven\’s markings in the music. He observed every nuance of dynamics and phrasing and, especially, pedaling. He has a powerful technique that gives him the fluency and strength on the keyboard, and his musical intelligence is compelling. unquestionably, this gifted and intelligent young pianist has a great deal to offer, and his Beethoven cycle, when completed, should prove to be of estimable interest\».
