The album is concluded with Op 101, of which the journalist for the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung in Leipzig wrote: �Truly, here in his 101st composition admiration and renewed respect take hold of us, when we wander along strange, never trodden paths with the great painter of the soul�, going on to enthuse about the most beautiful colours and pictures in Beethoven�s new Piano Sonata.
