The Sonatas for Piano and Cello

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Mstislav Rostropovich & Sviatoslav Richter

The Sonatas for Piano and Cello are a set of five sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1796 and 1815. They occupy an important place in Beethoven's chamber-music output, tracing a shift from Classical clarity toward early Romantic expressiveness with increasing technical demands and a more equal partnership between cello and piano, reflecting his expansion of harmonic language and formal scope.
