32 Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Konstantin Lifschitz

The 32 Piano Sonatas is a complete collection of solo piano works by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1822. They are composed in a Classical and early Romantic idiom for solo piano, with wide dynamic contrasts, an expanded harmonic language and demanding technical writing; they span Beethoven's early to late periods and show a move from classical forms to his later, more personal style.
