Having listened to all five of Hoffmann's Sonatas, I would venture to say that there is no noticeable "progress" across them (hardly surprising, as they were all composed with three or four years), but notable features in common: principally the fugal movements (including opening ones!) and episodes; though, arguably, this last one is the most accomplished in terms of its synthesis of contrasting compositional and emotional elements. Fascinating to hear. Thanks for posting.

Interesting music, is this the last of Hoffman’s Sonatas?
Yes, it is
Very interresting! Can you indicate details about the fortepiano used by Brunner?
Unfortunatelly there are no details of the fortepiano used on the CPO booklet
@@SergioCánovasCM Shame on them!
