	Piano Sonata No. 23 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, opus 57, known as the Appassionata, is considered one of the three great piano sonatas of his middle period (the others being the Waldstein sonata, opus 53 and the Lebewohl (Les adieux) sonata, opus 81a).
		While the early Sonata No. 8, Pathétique, was named by Beethoven himself, the Appassionata was so labeled in 1838 by the publisher of a four-hand arrangement of the work.
		The Appassionata was reportedly Beethoven's favorite among his 32 piano sonatas.

	Sonata
		In the classical period and afterwards, sonatas for piano solo were the most common genre of sonata, with sonatas for violin and piano and cello and piano being next.
		In this context, the current usage of the term "sonata" was established, both in terms of form, and in the sense that a full sonata is the normative example of concert music, which other forms are seen in relation to.
		The "sonata idea", as well as the term "sonata" continued to be central to musical analysis, and a strong influence on composers, both in large scale works and in chamber music.

	Musical Forms - Sonata Form
		The main form of the group embodying the 'sonata principle', the most important principle of musical structure from the Classical period to the 20th century: that material first stated in a complementary key be restated in the home key.
		Sonata form applies to a single movement, most often part of a multi-movement work such as a sonata, symphony or string quartet; independent movements, e.g.
		Sonata form has nevertheless served for some of the most ambitious and impressive tonal music of the 20th century by composers as different as Strauss and Hindemith, Elgar and Britten, Prokofiev and Shostakovich, and has even shaped movements (e.g.

	Walt Disney Concert Hall - Piece Detail
		For Beethoven and musicians of the Classical era, sonata form was shaped by tonality, the opposition of a tonic or home key and a secondary key that was heard as dissonant against that tonic - in the recapitulation of sonata form movements, all that was in the "dissonant" secondary key is resolved into the tonic.
		Both the opening movement of the "Appassionata," composed 1804-05, and its finale are in sonata form, and that tonal opposition is the principal dualism of the work.
		In terms of purely musical dialectics, the "Appassionata" is as abstract as Boulez' Sonata, and in emotional force the Boulez is as vehement as the Beethoven.

	Piano Sonata No. 21 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, opus 53, commonly known as the Waldstein, is considered to be one of Beethoven's greatest sonatas, as well as one of the three particularly notable piano sonatas of his middle period (the other two being the Appassionata sonata, Opus 57, and Les Adieux, Opus 81a).
		Another series of fortissimo chords is struck, ushering in a short, delicate pianissimo section, and the movement seems to die away...but instead segues into the Prestissimo coda, a wondrous section that plays with the various themes of the movement and more before ending in a triumphant rush of sound.
		With all its contrasts and striking originality, the Rondo is often thought to be the greatest achievement of Beethoven's middle period piano works, and is certainly a fitting end to this sonata.

	BBC - Radio 3 - Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57 (Appassionata)
		The subtitle for the Sonata was the publisher's addition, but Beethoven did not for once see cause to object.
		Although it is unlikely that a specific event inspired it, he had recently quarrelled with one of his closest friends, Stephan von Breuning, so on a local scale the sonata might be seen as Beethoven venting his anger.
		After the expectant introduction to the Allegro assai, the first movement proceeds with virtually unrelenting vigour and, for the first time in a Beethoven sonata first movement, the customary exposition repeat is done away with, so as not to hold up the argument.

	VARIATIONS - Online Information article about VARIATIONS
		A set of variations used as a movement for a sonata inevitably tends to be variations on the melody.
		Mozart and Haydn are movements in their sonata works; and this should always be remembered in discussing the tendency of their treatment of the form.
		In sonata works, Beethoven's examples of the normal variation form based on a single theme are as wonderful as may be expected from him; but nothing is more significant than his strict adherence in sonata works to the melodic principle of variation.

		The date of composition of the "Appassionata" is uncertain, though sketches appear as early as 1804.
		The Sonata is dedicated to the Count von Brunswick, one of whose two sisters, the Countess Therese and the Countess Josephine, may have been the subject of Beethoven's never-posted letters to the "immortal beloved".
		The "Appassionata" Sonata was given its title by the publisher Cranz, reflecting the work's unprecedentedly turbulent and passionate nature.

	Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It comprises four movements: an opening sonata allegro, an andante, and a fast scherzo which leads into the finale.
		The first movement is in the traditional sonata form that Beethoven inherited from his Classical predecessors, Haydn and Mozart (in which the main ideas that are introduced in the first few pages undergo elaborate development through many keys, with a dramatic return to the opening section—the recapitulation—about three-quarters of the way through).
		It is written in an unusual variant of sonata form: at the end of the development section, the music halts on a dominant cadence, played fortissimo, and the music continues after a pause with a quiet reprise of the "horn theme" of the scherzo movement.

	PIANO SONATA FOUR_G
		The movement is in sonata form, but with two significant formal innovations: a repeat is marked for just the second part of the movement (development and recapitulation); and the coda begins with a section in a closed binary form marked 'Presto' and suggesting some wild dance.
		Since, argues Kaiser, in the Appassionata, the moving beyond boundaries, the destruction of the aesthetic and beautiful frame work that one also always has in mind, belongs to the nature of the matter but also to many an interpretation of this work, a great deal is lost of this in older recordings.
		Kuerti describes this finale as having been composed in sonata form, but instead of the usual repetition of the exposition (that was also left off in the second movement) Beethoven, very unconventionally, is asking for the repcapitulation of the development, and even wrote in Italian, "la seconda parte due volte" ("the second part twice").

		The pianoforte, the new keyboard instrument that could play both loud and soft, with all varieties of dynamic nuance, developed remarkably during the life-time of Beethoven, a composer who was quick to seize the new opportunities so offered.
		Of these the most generally popular of all is the so-called Moonlight Sonata - the title was not the composer's - with its poetic first movement and fiery conclusion.
		The Appassionata Sonata explores an even wider range of feeling and the instrument itself, while the well known Pathétique Sonata offers a dramatic introduction to the world of the sonatas, all of which are available also in a boxed set from Naxos.

		Thus, Beethoven‘s piano sonatas became an open forum for his experimentation; in particular, it was as if the elements of his creative process of composition were focussed on these sonatas like a burning-glass, registering their diversity.
		The sonatas recorded on this SACD are taken, as popular opinion has it, from Beethoven‘s "intermediate creative period" and already demonstrate some distinctive divergence from the usual form on which Mozart and Haydn based their compositions.
		Walther Siegmund-Schulze depicted the sonata, which was written between 1804/05 and dedicated to Beethoven‘s friend Count Franz von Brunsvik, as "the crowning pianistic work of the beginning of the century".

		It had been four years since he wrote his last piano sonata, the dramatic “Appassionata” Sonata of 1805, and to mark his return to the form Beethoven composed a sonata that could hardly be more dissimilar.
		To be sure, there was an occasional major work—the Hammerklavier Sonata occupied him throughout all of 1818—but it was not until 1820 that he put his troubles, both personal and creative, behind him and was able to marshal new energy as a composer.
		Beethoven’s final sonata is in only two movements: a powerful opening movement in two parts and a concluding movement in theme-and-variation form.

		The first is a fortepiano built in 1990 by Thomas and Barbara Wolf, but inspired by instruments constructed by Nanette Streicher in the latter portion of the 1810s.
		For example, the "Hammerklavier" Sonata was inspired, at least in part, by a six-octave piano sent to the composer as a gift in 1818 by the English manufacturer Broadwood.
		These three performances, then, present the "Appassionata" as it might have been heard at the time of its composition, shortly after Beethoven's death, and as we hear it today on a modern instrument which, for many listeners, is most appropriate for Beethoven's music.

		In the Early period, he is seen as emulating his great predecessors Haydn and Mozart, at the same time exploring new directions and gradually expanding the scope and ambition of his work.
		Some important pieces from the Early period are the first and second symphonies, the first six string quartets, the first two piano concertos, and the first twenty piano sonatas, including the famous "Pathétique" and "Moonlight".
		As far as musical form is concerned, he built on the principles of sonata form and motivic development that he had inherited from Haydn and Mozart, but greatly extended them, writing longer and more ambitious movements.

		While most of us have grown accustomed hearing Beethoven performed on modern pianos, with the greater volume and sustain imparted by today's large instruments, the fortepianos featured on this recording are closer to the instruments on which Beethoven and his contemporaries played.
		I am particularly fond of the pianist's rendition of the sonata on the R.J. Regier fortepiano, a bold instrument with considerable spunk that elicits a zesty performance from him.
