Piano Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Richard Goode

Piano Sonatas is a collection of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, written between 1795 and 1822. The works are rooted in the Classical tradition but extend harmonic range and dynamic contrast through expanded keyboard technique, and they occupy a central place in Beethoven's piano output and in the shift from Classical to Romantic style in early 19th-century music.

First released: 1985
