The Piano Sonata No. 18 in E♭ major, Op. 31, No. 3, is an 1802 sonata for solo piano by Ludwig van Beethoven. A third party gave the piece the nickname "The Hunt" due to one of its themes' resemblance to a horn call. A playful jocularity is maintained throughout the piece, but as in many of Beethoven's early works, the jocular style can be heard as a facade, concealing profound ideas and depths of emotion.

Pollini is not a pianist with a sense of humour, but his playing has a trim, classical cut with plenty of vitality, and a blunt, brusque Beethoven also bursts through from time to time. — More…
