The quasi-programmatic Sonata No. 26 in E flat major, Op. 81a was dedicated to Beethoven's patron and pupil Archduke Rudolph. Composed in 1810, the sonata tells - in three movements entitled "The Farewell", "The Absence" and "The Return" - the story of the Archduke's exile from and return to Vienna, during Napoleon's siege.

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".
