Pianist Christopher Taylor learned his first sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven when he was 9, his latest one last year at age 37. In between came the other 30 sonatas, in just about as many years.
And from Feb. 13 through April 18, the prize-winning and critically acclaimed virtuoso, who teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will perform all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas in a series of 10 concerts.
