Piano Sonatas Nos. 17, 18, 21 Waldstein & 22

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Solomon

Piano Sonatas Nos. 17, 18, 21 (Waldstein) and 22 is a set of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1801 and 1804. The works mark Beethoven's move into his middle period, blending Classical forms with greater harmonic boldness, expanded structures, heightened virtuosity and dramatic contrasts that point towards his more adventurous later style.
