The concertmaster Li Pei will cooperate with pianist Zhou Xiaona in the Shanghai Symphony Chamber Hall to perform Beethoven's classic works. In the second half, Richard Strauss’ Sonata for violin and piano in E-flat major will be presented. This is a wonderful and moving work that integrates emotions as Strauss was in love with his future wife Paulina when he created this piece. Meanwhile it is also very challenging in terms of skills, and it is the selected piece for Heifetz's last performance.

Beethoven: Sonata for piano and violin No. 2 in A major, Op. 12, No. 2(17’)
Beethoven: Sonata for piano and violin No. 6 in A major, Op. 30, No. 1(23’)
