A journey through the history of the piano through three emblematic sonatas. Mozart’s Sonata in C major, KV 330, exudes the luminous grace of Viennese Classicism, characterized by balance and formal transparency. Beethoven, with his Sonata, Op. 110, opens up a more intimate and visionary space, where the sonata becomes a place of inner exploration and musical dramaturgy. Finally, Chopin, with his Sonata No. 2, Op. 35, takes the form to its Romantic peak, transforming it into a theater of feeling, between virtuosic momentum and the universal pathos of the Funeral March. Three eras, three languages, a single thread, the evolution of a form that leads from grace and balance to drama.
