Though commonly known by the evocative titles Moonlight and Pastoral, neither nickname originated with the composer himself.The celebrated Sonata quasi una fantasia in C-sharp minor opens the recording with one of the most iconic movements in all classical music: a work of restrained passion and inward drama, often associated with Beethoven's unfulfilled love for one of his pupils. The later Sonata in D major unfolds in a more pastoral atmosphere, coloured by echoes of rural life and subtle allusions to folk music.Both sonatas reveal Beethoven's gift for expanding classical form through slow introductions, shifting moods, and a narrative tension that grows organically from within. In Maria Korecka-Soszkowska's interpretation, these familiar masterpieces regain their freshness, intimacy, and poetic depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Maria Korecka-Soszkowska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43030758850631,"sku":"46345943","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4520517-3614366.jpg?v=1785581435","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/maria-korecka-soszkowska-beethoven-piano-sonata-no-14-in-c-sharp-minor-op-27-no-2-moonlight-piano-sonata-no-15-in-d-major-op-28-pastoral-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
