Listening to it, we can picture the idealist portrait of the composer — massive jaws firmly set, face lined with suffering, the expression that of one who has conquered the universe and is master of his fate — the head of a Titan. For a clue to the underlying idea of this sonata, Beethoven is reported to have said that we should read Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest." 3.56 Selected recordings 4.30 Close down 5.30 Children’s Song Service 7.
