Sonatas opp. 54, 57, 78, 90

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Maurizio Pollini

Sonatas opp. 54, 57, 78 and 90 are a set of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1804 and 1814. They fall between his middle and late periods, pair dramatic contrasts with lyrical warmth, and they show Beethoven move away from Classical formal norms towards more compact and intense piano textures.
