Sonata in B minor

The Piano Sonata in B minor is a solo piano composition by Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, completed in 1853 and published in 1854. The work is cast as a single continuous movement employing thematic transformation, dense chromatic harmony and virtuosic keyboard writing within a compact sonata-like structure, and it stands as a pivotal statement in Liszt's mature output that helped expand Romantic-era form and technique.
