Piano Sonatas

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Tamás Vásáry

The Piano Sonatas are a set of 32 piano sonatas by German composer Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1795 and 1822. Spanning early Classical forms to his late period, the works chart Beethoven's evolution through increasing technical demands, expanded harmonic language and formal experimentation that pushed the expressive and structural boundaries of the piano sonata.
