Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 28 in A major, Op. 101

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn of Germany ，he was a period of great classical composer and pianist. The creation of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas were known as "New Testament" by the world which has a significant place in art history at the piano , and has a very profound impact to the future generations. Beethoven's five piano sonatas not only rich with bold and innovative in the structure of the form and content, and have devoted their true subjective feelings in the works, vision and perception of an ideal life for real life, but also indicates a romantic doctrine of music performance and composition techniques. Beethoven's five piano sonatas was the world known as the late "five sonatas" ，according to some huge bias and the same tendency to be together.

Op.101 was written in 1815-1816 and published in 1817. In the period of 1815 -1819, due to the unfortunate deterioration of the political situation, social chaos, and personal life, this period formed a minimum works of Beethoven, and only the piano sonatas Op.101 advanced. According to Schindler who was Beethoven's friend said that this piece was the only public performance of Beethoven's piano sonatas when he was alive. This work changed the overall structure of the piano sonata, not only changed the traditional order of the music, but also used the counterpoint more frequently. On the other hand, this work's fusion about portrayal of the poetic and philosophical thinking was also seen as a Fantasia, and reached an unprecedented artistic realm. This is the piano sonata Op.101 which opened the era of Beethoven's late period. by ELIZABETH DONG
