Waldstein Sonata, Op. 53 / Sonata in E, Op. 109
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Byron Janis
Waldstein Sonata, Op. 53 and Piano Sonata in E major, Op. 109 are piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1804 and 1820 respectively. They show a shift in Beethoven's style from his middle to late periods, as the music moves from virtuosic writing to more introspective forms and expanded piano textures with adventurous harmonic language that influenced later keyboard repertoire.
