About

Beethoven’s genius may have had a dominant presence in early 19th-century Vienna, but the 18-year-old Schubert composed a Sonata in E major, D157, in 1815 that already encapsulated elements of his own genius in the Lied-like perfection of its second movement. His first true piano masterpiece followed in the Sonata in A major, D664, with an intimacy, lyricism and perfection of form that set him apart from his contemporaries. Composed five years later, the Sonata in D major, D850, is marked by extrovert, virtuosic writing, memorable themes and an almost improvisatory flair.

Costantino Mastroprimiano is a distinctive figure in the field of historical piano. He also specializes in 18th- and 19th-century piano music, especially the works of Clementi, Dussek, Hummel, Cramer, Czerny, Kalkbrenner and Moscheles. Among his recordings are the award-winning 18-CD cycle of Clementi’s complete sonatas on Brilliant Classics and the Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas on Aulicus Classics.
