Biography

The pivotal figure between Classical and Romantic eras, Beethoven transformed every form he touched. His 32 piano sonatas constitute the most important single body of work for the instrument — from the early Op. 2 set through the late Op. 106 Hammerklavier, Op. 109, 110, and 111, they chart an artistic evolution of staggering scope. The 33 Diabelli Variations and five piano concertos complete a keyboard legacy without parallel.
