Sonatas nos. 3 & 23 “Appassionata”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Lang Lang

Piano Sonatas Nos. 3 and 23 are solo piano works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795 and 1804–05 respectively. They chart Beethoven's move from his early Classical models toward a more expansive, turbulent idiom, with the later sonata characterised by stark dynamic contrasts, increased technical demands and a heightened emotional intensity that helped shape the early Romantic piano repertoire.
