Overview
Each piece in this programme offers a sense of striving for the infinite, heard in the contrapuntal ingenuity of Mozart’s final piano sonata and ever-present in Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in C minor Op. 111.
Sir András Schiff begins with Haydn’s mighty Piano Sonata in E flat and draws his survey of final sonatas to a close with Schubert’s majestic Piano Sonata in B flat D960.
