As in every other volume of this complete cycle, the Ninth is full of contrasts, no more so than between the Sturm und Drang proportions of Sonata No. 36 and the simple yet beautiful style galant of No. 37. Foretastes of Koželuch’s Scottish song settings can be heard in Sonatas Nos. 33 and 35 while the slow movements of Nos. 34 and 35 are notable for their lyrical beauty.

This recording was made on period instruments:
Fortepiano by Paul Downie (NZ), after Anton Walter (c. 1795) (Tracks 1–10);
