Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas
"Pathétique. Moonlight. Appassionata. Hammerklavier." Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his first piano sonata at the age of 25 and his last at 52, and together these 32 sonatas have been called "The New Testament" of music. Artur Schnabel was the first pianist to record a complete set, and since then this feat has been achieved by Daniel Barenboim, Alfred Brendel, Claude Frank, Maurizio Pollini, and Claudio Arrau - twice! We’ll sample as many as we possibly can, and we hope you will share in our wonder and amazement at Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas.
