• Piano Sonatas: Beethoven, Berg, Copland; Navona; January 2025; Piano Sonatas: Berg, Beethoven, CoplandAlban Berg: Piano Sonata, Op. 1Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata in A Major, Op. 101Aaron Copland: Piano SonataHighly-acclaimed pianist Daniel Linder makes his Navona Records debut with PIANO SONATAS, presenting three offerings of masterworks by Alban Berg, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Aaron Copland. Berg’s Piano Sonata, Op. 1, demonstrates the young composer’s mastery of chromaticism and atonality under Schoenberg’s tutelage. Beethoven’s Sonata in A Major, Op. 101 is a testament to his late-period experimentation, blending Classical forms with expressive lyricism and cyclic structure. Copland’s Piano Sonata fuses his American populist style with jazz-inspired rhythmic motifs and open harmonies, encapsulating the expansive, introspective qualities of his mid-century work. Together, these pieces offer a rich study in contrasts and an inquiry into the celebrated tradition of the sonata form
