Mariam Batsashvili:
This album shows how four composers expressed themselves through the sonata form; it begins with Haydn’s Sonata No.37, in three-movement Classical Viennese style, and ends with Liszt’s one-movement “Dante” Sonata. Between them are Mozart’s last sonata, K.576, and Beethoven’s Appassionata, “completely revolutionary in the way he used the entirety of the keyboard,” says Batsashvili.

For Schaghajegh Nosrati, Haydn, because of his thorough study of the works and writings of CPE Bach, became the true successor of Johann Sebastian Bach. "For all their stylistic differences, an underlying affinity between the two composers is unmistakable and may have been one reason why I, as a great admirer of Johann Sebastian Bach, felt drawn to Haydn‘s music early on."
