5 Sonatas for Cello & Piano

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Daniil Shafran & Anton Ginsburg

Five Sonatas for Cello and Piano is a set of five sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1796 and 1815. The works bridge the Classical and early Romantic periods, pairing lyrical cello lines with increasingly prominent and technically demanding piano parts that illustrate Beethoven's evolving approach to sonata form and the changing role of the instruments in chamber music.
