Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor "Appassionata", Op. 57
by Ludwig van Beethoven
PianoClassical/RomanticSonata~24 minprofessional
The "Appassionata" is one of Beethoven's most powerful and technically demanding sonatas. The first movement builds from a brooding opening to volcanic outbursts; the serene variations of the Andante lead without pause into a perpetual-motion finale of relentless intensity.
