This is one of my favorite piano sonatas, especially the second movement. I've never heard anyone play it better than Schnabel did. Too bad the fidelity of the recording isn't better but it is still one of the really great Beethoven recordings of all time.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Beethoven Piano Sonata op. 7 in E-Flat Major Artur Schnabel
This is one of my favorite piano sonatas, especially the second movement. I've never heard anyone play it better than Schnabel did. Too bad the fidelity of the recording isn't better but it is still one of the really great Beethoven recordings of all time.
