Sonatas for Cello and Piano nos. 1-5

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Daniil Shafran & Anton Ginsburg

Sonatas for Cello and Piano nos. 1-5 is a set of five cello sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1796 and 1815. The works span his early Classical period to his mature style, ranging from virtuosic, formally classical pieces to more introspective and formally expanded sonatas that treat cello and piano as equal partners and extend the expressive range of chamber music.
