Piano Sonatas: “Moonlight”, “Les Adieux”, “Pathétique”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven

This collection of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven comprises works composed between 1798 and 1810. They span Beethoven's early to middle periods and exemplify the transition from Classical forms to a more personal Romantic expressive language, featuring clear sonata structures, an expanded harmonic palette, contrasts of intimate lyricism and dramatic intensity, and innovations in piano writing that influenced later composers.
