German-born pianist Axel Schmitt, a faculty member at Mountain View’s Community School of Music and Arts, has at least one heavy lift on his bucket list: He’s attempting to perform every one of Beethoven’s piano sonatas—that’s 32 total—before the 250th anniversary of the great composer’s birth in 2020. On Sunday, Schmitt presents his third concert of Beethoven sonatas, this one checking five more off the list. If you’re keeping score, that’s Opus Nos. 49-1, 49-2, 14-1, 14-2 and 22. It’s free, but seating is limited. Arrive early.
