 Piano Sonata No. 29 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 29 in B flat major, opus 106, known as the Hammerklavier, is widely considered to be one of the defining works of the composer's third period and one of the great piano sonatas.
It is considered Beethoven's single most difficult composition for the piano and remains one of the most challenging solo works in the entire piano repertoire, to this day.
Structurally, it follows traditional classical-era sonata form, but the recapitulation of the main theme is varied to include extensive figurations in the right hand that anticipate some of the techniques of romantic piano music; in "The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection", Ted Libbey writes, "An entire line of development...springs from this music."

 NPRN Composer of the Month
Not all of Beethoven's late music was on a grandiose scale.
Throughout this series of songs, which Beethoven composes as one continuous, connected piece of music, the tenderness and intimacy of Romanticism stands in stark contrast to the music of Beethoven's heroic period.
The poems speak of a lover separated from his beloved; he consoles himself by singing songs to her, songs filled with images of nature and finally the promise of the arrival of spring.

His music no doubt was a direct reflection on the reality of life.
He submitted a letter in 1819 which indicates that Beethoven was writing this piece approximately at the same time as Symphony no. 9 (Schmidt, 175).
See example 12.This theme actually originated from a motive that was intended for the second movement of the violin sonata in A major, Op.

As far as the piano part goes I should say both accounts are admirable, and Gieseking has a clear advantage in terms of the recorded sound.
His touch is always tasteful and properly scaled, but after listening to Serkin it seems oddly monochrome, and after listening to Gieseking himself in the Beethoven it seems curiously diffident.
This is a disc that I have no qualms about recommending all the same.

Stephen Kovacevich's long-anticipated recording of Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata grasps at the bar upon which the work's reference versions reside.
The Bagatelles are even better--ravishingly characterized and controlled on every musical and pianistic level.
Some listeners might find Richard Goode's leaner, suaver Les Adieux easier to live with, but Kovacevich's confrontational artistry does this wonderful sonata equal justice.

Beethoven was well aware of the difficulties this sonata posed for the pianist and listeners, and even went as far as to suggest that the last movement could be left out altogether in order to make the work more accessible for a London audience.
The adagio, one of the profoundest and longest single movements in all piano music, is followed by a crowning fugal finale to challenge the technique of even a great virtuoso such as Kempff.
Beethoven's music is usually thought of in three periods - Early, Middle and Late.

Like so much of Beethoven's work, though, once the musical world caught up to it, the "Hammerklavier" became an irreplaceable part of the piano repertoire.
The idea of a concert performance of one of his sonatas (or, as at Schwetzingen this year, the entire series of sonatas) would likely have struck Beethoven as odd.
Classics in the Morning revisits this work, known as the "Hammerklavier" Sonata, in a performance by Russian pianist Nikolai Demidenko, recorded on May 14, 2004, at the Schwetzingen Festival in Baden-Baden, Germany.
