Overview

Sir András Schiff’s exploration of late works continues with four contrasting compositions. Haydn’s Piano Sonata in D, written in London in 1794, is small of scale but large in invention. Beethoven creates the perfect blend of strict counterpoint and open-hearted emotional expression in his Op. 110, while Schubert’s penultimate piano sonata pays tribute to Beethoven in its lyrical finale.
