The Late Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Stewart Goodyear

The Late Sonatas are the late piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1820 and 1822. They exemplify Beethoven's late style through concentrated introspection, advanced harmonic language, structural experimentation and increased contrapuntal texture, marking a significant development in the piano sonata as a form in his late career and in music history.
