Piano Sonatas opp. 2 / 101 / 106 "Hammerklavier"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Paavali Jumppanen

Piano Sonatas Opp. 2, 101 and 106 are piano sonata compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven, published in 1796, 1817 and 1819 respectively. Spanning his early to late periods, these sonatas move from classical-period structures with clear sonata form and virtuosic passages to expanded, harmonically adventurous works featuring extended movements, increased technical demands and formal experimentation that mark significant developments in the piano sonata repertoire.
First released: 2013
