Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos.14, 15, 17

[Machine Translation] The three sonatas are No. 15, which is called "The Countryside" like Symphony No. 6 and is a great sonata with a pastoral style, bright but profound; No. 17, which is close to Shakespeare's The Tempest, the great 17th century playwright's romance play; and No. 16, which is a sonata with a title of "Moonlight" and an adagio sostenuto prelude-like movement that develops like an imperturbable movement at the beginning. The three sonatas are coupled with "Moonlight," which opens with a prelude-like movement of adagio sostenuto that unfolds like an imperturbable movement.

交響曲第6番と同じく「田園」と呼ばれ、牧歌的な作風が横溢し、明るい中にも深遠さを湛えた大ソナタである第15番。17世紀の大劇作家シェイクスピアのロマンス劇、「テンペスト」への接近が見られる第17番。そして無窮動のように展開されるアダージョ・ソステヌートの前奏曲風な楽章を冒頭に置く「月光」という、3曲の題名つき名ソナタをカップリング。
