This recording is dedicated to the memory of Brian Callahan, my uncle and mentor. Brian was not able to be at the performance, but I received the recording in time to send it to him and his wife, Margaret. A lifelong connoisseur of music and lover of Beethoven, this recording was the last piece of music he listened to before he passed.
