Piano Sonatas Nos. 30-32

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Freddy Kempf

Piano Sonatas Nos. 30-32 is a set of three piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed and published between 1820 and 1822. They exemplify Beethoven's late style, characterised by concise yet complex structures, increased contrapuntal and harmonic experimentation, and an introspective, often fragmented approach that marks a significant moment in his output and in the evolution of 19th-century piano music.
First released: 28th February 2001
