Sonatas for Piano and Cello

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Rudolf Serkin & Pau Casals

Sonatas for Piano and Cello is a set of five sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1796 and 1815. These chamber works, spanning Beethoven's early to middle creative periods, are rooted in Classical style and feature intimate piano and cello dialogue, increasing technical demands, and explorations of form and expressive range that helped shape later Romantic chamber writing.
