Sonatas: no. 8 in C minor “Pathétique” / no. 9 in E major / no. 10 in G major

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Glenn Gould

This release is a set of early piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and published in 1798–1799. They exemplify the composer's early period, employing Classical forms with increased dramatic contrast and expanded harmonic and formal experimentation, with turbulent passages set against lyrical slow movements that point towards his later, more Romantic idiom.
