Composed between 1800 and 1801, the Sonatas Nos. 11-13 bridge two very different periods in Beethoven's piano sonatas. Scholar Charles Rosen has described the Sonata No. 11 in B-flat major, Op. 22 (composed in 1800) as the composer's 'farewell to the eighteenth century'. lt was for Beethoven the culmination of the older classical style. With the Sonata No. 12 in A-flat major, Op. 26 on the other hand, Beethoven departs from tradition. Published in Vienna in 1802, only the last movement, a Rondo allegro, is in a conventional form. The third movement, a funeral march 'for an unknown hero', is especially admired, an was played at the composer's own funeral. The stylistic departure began in Op. 26 continued in the two sonatas of Op. 27, which Beethoven completed in 1801 and published together with the description 'quasi una fantasia'. As with the preceding sonata, in Sonata No. 13 in E flat major, Op. 27 No. 1, Beethoven again chose unconventional forms, beginning with the opening movement: an Andante-Allegro-Andante structure that suggests a suite, particularly in the middle 6/8 section.
The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim has been active on the concert stage since the age of seven when he made his stage debut in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim is described as "one of the few musicians in the world today who could accurately be describe as legendary".

Die Barenboimsche Lyrik vor allem in den langsamen Sätzen der Beethovensonaten ist einzigartig... Trivial: Großes Kino

I like this earlier recording of Barenboim playing this master piece better than older one. Of couse, you mature as you have more experiences, but this recording is more relatable for me to get what i need. I guess that's because the older one had reached the point which is thr epidemy, the reincarnation of Pure Beethoven. As a piano student, I love how Barenboim can show who Beethoven is.

This shows that Beethovens music theory was amazing.
