Summary: | 碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 音樂研究所 === 97 === Ludwig van Beethoven plays an exceptional role in the history of western music. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras. All of his thirty–two piano sonatas were composed between 1795 to 1822. Each sonata were has its own distinguishing feature revealing Beethoven’s growth in music. Though his piano sonatas have been published for nearly 200 years, Beethoven’s sonatas still require research and analysis through scholars, instructors, and students to plumb their depths. The first part of this paper is a comprehensive of Beethoven’s sonata Op.27, No.2.
Frédéric Chopin dedicated his entire life to the piano. He composed three piano sonatas; its c minor, Op.4; the b-flat minor, Op.35; b minor, Op.58. The second part of this paper will explore Chopin second sonata Op.35. This piece is full of rich harmonies and subtle technique.
