Sonates pour violoncelle et piano

Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Richard Strauss & Lluís Claret & Alain Planès

Sonate pour violoncelle et piano, Op. 65 is a cello sonata by Frédéric Chopin, published in 1846. One of Chopin's few chamber works, it situates itself in the Romantic tradition with expressive, piano-led textures balanced against lyrical and sometimes dramatic cello writing, and it reflects the composer's late-career engagement with larger, contrapuntal forms within his oeuvre.
