Description:

The second volume of Jonathan Bisss Beethoven Cycle features three sonatas and a fantasia composed between 1795 and 1822, including the Moonlight and Therese sonatas. The Fantasy, a piece not often heard, features a stormy, improvisational first half that weaves together numerous melodic fragments, followed by a beautiful theme and variations in A major.Naxos Japan
