Earl Wild - Beethoven - Hammerklavier, Moonlight, Pathetique by: Earl Wild For this all-Beethoven recording, Earl Wild has selected three sonatas-the Hammerklavier (Opus 106), the Pathetique (Opus 13) and the Moonlight (Opus 27, No. 2). Modern audiences regard these as classic examples of the sonata literature. But to Beethoven's contemporaries, each of these works represented a significant innovation, a departure from the conventional sonata as defined by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven's other predeccesors. Each is a masterpiece from a different period in Beethoven's development as a composer.
