However, Beethoven makes use of unorthodox mode-mixture, as he presents the second subject in E-flat minor rather than its customary parallel major.

Beethoven extends Haydn's compositional practice by returning to the introductory section twice—at the beginning of the development section as well as in the coda. Some performers of the sonata include the introduction in the exposition repeat, others return to the beginning of the allegro section.

The Adagio movement opens with a famous cantabile melody. This theme is played three times, always in A-flat major , separated by two modulating episodes. The first episode is set in F minor relative to A-flat major , further modulating to E-flat major before returning to the main theme. The second episode begins in A-flat minor and modulates to E major. With the final return of the main theme, the accompaniment becomes richer and takes on the triplet rhythm of the second episode. There is a brief coda. The main theme closely resembles the second theme of the Allegro of the first movement: There is also a modified representation of the melody from the second movement, thus connecting all three movements together.

The movement's sonata rondo form includes a coda. It was just hilarious, but also so embarrassing. If you've had a similar horror story, please share it here!!!

It'll be nice to know I'm not the only one who screws up like this. The sonata closes with a duple meter movement in C minor. The main theme strongly resembles the second theme of the Allegro of the first movement, being identical to it in its pitch pattern for the first four notes and in its rhythmic pattern for the first eight. It follows a version of sonata rondo form that includes a coda. The three rondo episodes are in E flat, A flat, and C major.

The common use of sforzandos create a forceful effect, although overall the rondo is relatively lightweight compared to the first movement. Beethoven's notes show that he originally planned the movement as a rondo for piano accompanied by another instrument, perhaps a violin. Beethoven - Sonata No. It has remained one of his most celebrated compositions. The sonata consists of three movements: Grave Slowly, with solemnity — Allegro di molto e con brio Quickly, with much vigour 2. Adagio cantabile Slowly, in a singing style 3. With fingering for fast, easy and safe playing.

Scholar Alan Walker described it as "arguably one of the greatest keyboard works The piece has received a lot of analytical attention, particularly regarding its musical form. Liszt noted on the sonata's manuscript that it was completed on February 2, , but he had composed an earlier version by At this point in his life, Liszt's career as a traveling virtuoso had almost entirely subsided, as he had been influenced towards leading the life of a composer rather than a performer by Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein almost five years earlier.

Liszt's life was established in Weimar and he was living a comfortable lifestyle, composing, and occasionally performing, entirely by choice rather than necessity. His wife Clara Schumann did not perform the sonata; according to scholar Alan Walker she found it "merely a blind noise". There exists a great deal of speculation surrounding the origins of this piece. While Liszt composed a great deal of programmatic works, at no point did he suggest that this piece was constructed upon any idea greater than pure music.

However, it has been suggested that the piece could be programmatic of the Faust legend, be based upon the biblical story of the Garden of Eden or even be biographical. The sonata is constructed as a single movement of non-stop music lasting half-an-hour, but it is widely believed that Liszt's piece still fits the mould of a traditional four-movement sonata within the mould of one long sonata form.

Walker claims the quiet ending of the sonata was an afterthought; the original manuscript contains a crossed-out ending section which would have ended the work loudly instead. The sonata is notable for being constructed from four motivic elements that are woven into an enormous musical architecture. The motivic units undergo thematic transformation throughout the work to suit the musical context of the moment.

A theme that in one context sounds menacing and even violent, is then transformed into a beautiful melody.
