Piano Sonatas nos. 1 and 2
Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Leif Ove Andsnes
Piano Sonatas Nos. 1 and 2 are a pair of piano sonatas by Frédéric Chopin, composed in 1828 and 1839–1840 respectively. They trace Chopin's movement from early classical-sonata forms toward a distinct Romantic piano language, combining lyrical melodies, intricate pianistic textures, dramatic contrasts and structural innovations that influenced later 19th-century piano repertoire.
