Klaviersonaten no. 14 “Mondschein” / No. 8 “Pathétique” / No. 23 “Appassionata”

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Daniel Barenboim

Klaviersonaten is a collection of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1798 and 1806. The pieces illustrate Beethoven's progression from classical forms towards a more expansive middle-period language, characterised by heightened emotional contrast, extended formal structures, increased technical demands for the performer and a more dramatic use of dynamics and texture that influenced the development of nineteenth-century piano repertoire.
