Christopher WilkinsAbout
Before Beethoven left Bonn for Vienna in 1792 he had already been busy composing piano sonatas (dedicating three to Count Waldstein) and had started his three piano trios, Op.1, and three piano sonatas, Op.2. He dedicated Op.1 to his benefactor at the time, Prince Lichnowsky, and Op.2 to his teacher, Joseph Haydn. Beethoven continued to compose piano sonatas throughout his entire career and these works played an important role in moving the piano away from the classical chamber style and more into the Lisztian style of romance and passion. His sonatas did not necessarily get bigger or better as there are movements of immense power and beauty in the early sonatas. However, as a result of the most careful thought, he wrote his later works in a meticulous and intellectual way which, in piano works, has never been matched by any other composer.
