Piano Sonatas Nos. 7, 23
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Murray Perahia
Piano Sonatas Nos. 7 and 23 are piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1798 and 1804–05 respectively. They illustrate a stylistic shift from Beethoven's early classical approach, characterised by clarity and virtuosic passages, to his middle-period language marked by heightened emotional intensity, expanded harmonic daring and formal innovation that influenced later piano literature.
First released: 1985
