Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 21, opus 53
This piano sonata was dedicated to Beethoven’s friend and arts patron Count Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Waldstein – that is why the work became known as the “Waldstein sonata”. This piece is also known as L’Aurore (The Dawn), for the opening sounds of the third movement. This is a challenging and heroic sonata from Beethoven’s middle period.

Welcome to Community Music Centers of Atlanta
CMC Atlanta is a music education company founded in 2007 as the L5P Music Center. In the nearly 20 years since our founding, we've grown from offering music lessons at a single site to a network of local community music schools (Decatur, Dunwoody, Inman Park, Little 5 Points and Brookhaven) that offers an array of innovative, but historically-informed music education programs to students of all ages and skill levels. Working in collaboration with Capstone Academy, an accredited private school, we also created a high school conservatory program, Atlanta Music High School, which opened in August 2017.
