Mozart, Chopin, Schumann and Beethoven have always been at the centre of the magnificent career of pianist Maria João Pires. Even within the restricted group to which she was deeply dedicated, Beethoven is “enlightened, a messenger who brought something to humanity, touched by grace”, she said in an interview with O Estadão. The special place she holds for the German composer, makes him the only composer Maria João Pires does not drift away.
