Great White - Old Rose Motel

In the early 1800s, Beethoven entered his experimentation band in his piano work, creating one after another several sonatas that destroyed the usual notions of this genre. So, Sonata No. 12 (op. 26) opened with lyrical variations, followed by Scherzo and "The funeral march to the death of the hero." The fast major major ending this cycle could have puzzled the listener even more than clarified the meaning of such a strange design. Both sonatas op. 27 were called by Beethoven “sonatas in the spirit of fantasy” (Sonata quasi ipa fantasia), because their structure looked even more unusual. In the first of them, in E flat major, as if in a dream, alternating beautiful, but as if unfinished, paintings. And the C sharp minor opened with the mournful Adagio sostenuto, which contrasted sharply with the graceful playful Allegretto and the furious storm finale.
