The Late Piano Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Alfred Brendel

The Late Piano Sonatas are a group of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1816 and 1822. They are late works that combine classical sonata forms with extended harmony, unusual formal designs, abrupt contrasts of texture and tempo and moments of intense introspection, and they were written near the end of Beethoven's life when his compositional approach moved toward greater structural freedom.
