Klaviersonaten No. 15 "Pastorale", No. 17 "Sturm-Sonate"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Emil Gilels

Klaviersonaten No. 15 "Pastorale" and No. 17 "Sturm-Sonate" are piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in the early 1800s. Musically they illustrate Beethoven's move from Classical clarity toward his more dramatic and exploratory middle-period style, contrasting serene, pastoral textures and clear formal structures with agitated, storm-like writing, expanded harmonic language and marked dynamic contrasts that contributed to developments in the piano repertoire.
