Abstract
The paper herein highlights those aspects of Chopin’s Piano Sonata Op.58 that demonstrate the strong connection with the classical-type sonata, its significance and the evolution of expression. Chopin’s Third Piano Sonata, Op.58 is the largest solo work of his late period. Chopin’s successful combination of the Classical and the Romantic aesthetic, results in an effective balancing of structural integrity and emotional fulfilment. Every moment of Op.58 possesses qualities of movements in a traditional sonata cycle; however, the tendency to blend structural elements, the expansion of thematic material and the postponement of climaxes contribute to Chopin’s distinctive treatment of the sonata genre style include blurring of genres, complex use of chromaticism, intricacy of counterpoint, textural and thematic variety
