The Complete Sonatas for Cello and Piano

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Pierre Fournier & Artur Schnabel

The Complete Sonatas for Cello and Piano is a collection of works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1796 and 1815. These sonatas, rooted in the Classical tradition but pointing toward Romantic expressiveness, feature a close conversational interplay between cello and piano, expanded harmonic language and formal innovation that chart Beethoven's development from his early to middle and late periods and helped to elevate the cello's role in chamber music.
