Though commonly known by the evocative titles Moonlight and Pastoral, neither nickname originated with the composer himself.    The celebrated Sonata quasi una fantasia in C-sharp minor opens the recording with one of the most iconic movements in all classical music: a work of restrained passion and inward drama, often associated with Beethoven's unfulfilled love for one of his pupils. The later Sonata in D major unfolds in a more pastoral atmosphere, coloured by echoes of rural life and subtle allusions to folk music.    Both sonatas reveal Beethoven's gift for expanding classical form through slow introductions, shifting moods, and a narrative tension that grows organically from within. In Maria Korecka-Soszkowska's interpretation, these familiar masterpieces regain their freshness, intimacy, and poetic depth.","brand":"DUX","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52462326874392,"sku":"5902547022499","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4520517-3614366.jpg?v=1785499681","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/beethoven-piano-sonata-no-14-in-c-sharp-minor-op-27-no","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
