Paul Lewis: Beethoven Bagatelles

About this playlist

Beethoven's bagatelles for piano provide a fascinating insight into the composer, very different from the drama of his symphonies or the grand scale of his other piano music. Exclusively for Primephonic, Paul Lewis tells us why Beethoven is the master of the miniature, alongside his new album of the bagatelles.
