Allegro con brio - 6:46 12. 2. Adagio con molto espressione - 6:16 13. 3. Menuetto - 3:03 14. 4. Rondo (Allegretto) - 5:21 Maurizio Pollini . . . a curious mix of the magisterial and the severe. The two tendencies co-exist in the biggest of the sonatas here, the E flat Op 7, where passages of fabulous clarity and poise are punctuated with explosive chords . . . sometimes the overbearing element can vanish altogether, as it does in Pollini's delicate, quicksilver account of the first of the Op 14 pair, in G major.
