Piano Sonatas, op. 31

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Andreas Haefliger

Piano Sonatas, Op. 31 is a set of three piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1802. The works blend Classical sonata forms with increased rhythmic drive, unexpected harmonic turns and expanded structural ideas, marking a clear step toward Beethoven's middle-period experimentation and a shift away from earlier models.
