Kemp English - Leopold Ko�eluch: Complete Keyboard Sonatas, Vol. 9

Some contemporaries in Vienna judged the Bohemian Leopold Ko�eluch an even finer composer than Mozart. He was especially esteemed for his mastery of the keyboard sonata, couched in the �high-Classic� style, which are amongst the most important of their time. In this volume, the early Sonata No. 37, full of beautiful simplicity, is contrasted with the Sturm und Drang vehemence of Sonata No. 36. Expansive slow movements in Sonatas Nos. 34 and 35 reveal endless cantabile beauties.
