Ludwig van Beethoven expanded Classical forms and opened the door to Romanticism. His 32 piano sonatas — often called the "New Testament" of the piano literature — remain among the most important keyboard works ever composed.

Beethoven's textures thrive on sudden contrast: sforzandos, abrupt drops to pianissimo, and bold harmonic shifts. Adventurous pedalling becomes increasingly important in the later works.
