Piano Sonatas Nos. 13–19

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Daniel Barenboim

Piano Sonatas Nos. 13–19 are a set of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1803. Spanning his early to middle compositional periods, they combine Classical-era formal clarity with increasing harmonic daring, expanded structural proportions and sharper dramatic contrasts that characterise Beethoven's middle-period development in the piano repertoire.
