Piano Sonata no. 29 “Hammerklavier” / An die ferne Geliebte

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Nobuyuki Tsujii

This release pairs a late-period solo piano sonata and a secular song cycle by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1818 and 1816 respectively. The piano work features expansive formal structures, significant technical demands and intricate contrapuntal writing, while the song cycle uses through-composed settings of poetry to create a continuous narrative arc, together illustrating the breadth of Beethoven's late stylistic and expressive range.
