Cello Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Steven Isserlis & Robert Levin

Cello Sonatas are five works for cello and piano by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1796 and 1815. They span Beethoven's early to late compositional periods, moving from Classical-era sonata structures and balanced dialogue between cello and piano to later works that employ expanded forms, greater harmonic adventurousness and increased technical demands, marking important developments in the solo cello repertoire.
