Piano Sonatas, Piano Sonatinas : Jando

FRIEDRICH KUHLAU (1786-1832)
Piano Sonatas, Op. 59 / Piano Sonatinas, Op. 20

A close contemporary of Weber, the German-born Friedrich Kuhlau settled in Copenhagen, where he spent the greater part of his career as a composer, pianist and teacher.
Kuhlau wrote a copious quantity of music for the piano, including a fine Piano Concerto reminiscent of early Beethoven, salon music and other works of varied technical difficulty.
The Sonatinas and Sonatas ‘non difficiles’ featured on this disc were of practical use in teaching or for domestic music-making. ( NAXOS )
