First published in London in 1810, Beethoven’slyrical Piano Sonata No. 24 reflects recent lessonslearned by the composer in creating his Fifth PianoConcerto, Sixth Symphony and Violin Concerto.

Igor Levit’s programme also includes Op. 81a, describedby Beethoven as a ‘sonata characterising departure,absence and reunion’, and the Piano Sonata No. 4,an early masterwork.
