Beethoven’s sense of concise and compact musical statement was clearly illustrated in the Piano Sonata Op. 78 – a work which he described himself as “now there’s a sonata!” Directness combined with broader ranges of sonority inspired shorter, power-packed works by Chopin and Schubert in music that defined the great era of romanticism.
