We are still in the early sonatas. The music starts and it still sounds very much like the classical music (Haydn, Mozart) that came before Beethoven. I don’t know Beethoven’s sonatas very well (which is why I am doing this) so I wonder if that will change as we get to the end of the repertoire.
In this video, the piece is performed by Daniel Barenboim.
