Beethoven Piano Sonata Nr 30 - sad, but beautiful

We are in mourning today.  I've listened to Beethoven's 30th piano sonata a lot recently.  I read somewhere how it mentioned there was a delay between the Hammerklavier sonata and the 30th sonata because Beethoven was suffering from ill health after he wrote the Hammerklavier sonata.  The last movement of variations is something else.  I had recently bought Christoph Eschenbach's recording from Amazon.ca marketplace.  Here are some notes Robert Silverman wrote about the Beethoven Piano Sonatas.  András Schiff also has a series of audio commentary. Timeless masterpieces for all time.  Goodbye Grandma.
