Best 100 piano sonata releases

Piano sonata music is a type of classical music composition for solo piano that typically consists of several movements, each with its own unique tempo, mood, and musical ideas. The piano sonata emerged in the classical period (mid-18th to early 19th century) and has since remained a popular form of composition among classical composers.

The sonata typically consists of three or four movements, with the first movement usually being the longest and most substantial. The second movement is often slower and more lyrical, while the third movement is typically a scherzo or a minuet and trio. The final movement is often fast and lively, bringing the sonata to a triumphant conclusion.

Some of the most famous composers of piano sonatas include Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, and Frederic Chopin.
