About
The two op.102 Sonatas are from the cusp of the ‘late’ period, this is the time of the Ninth Symphony, the Missa solemnis, the great string quartets opp.127-135 and the last five piano sonatas.
The cello and piano are truly equal partners in all these works and Beethoven exploited the full range of the cello placing great demands on the player.
The op.17 Sonata from the 1790s was composed for horn and piano. The transcription is believed to be by the composer, or at least approved by him.
Reviews
There’s little in Beethoven’s output that’s undervalued but I have the sense that the cello sonatas don’t quite get the respect they deserve. ... In Leonard Elschenbroich and Alexei Grynyuk’s hands, these sonatas’ staggering invention is impossible to ignore. The musicians’ success comes, at least in part, from scrupulous attention to the composer’s markings in matters of dynamics and articulation. Andrew Farach-Colton
