Beethoven "Piano sonata No.23"
BeethovenNo. 23, also known as "Passion". It is said to be one of Beethoven's masterpieces of the middle period of his piano sonatas. The range of the piano is much wider (68 keys made by Erard), and the effect of the piano is said to have been used very well in the composition.
