	Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig van Beethoven's opus 27 no. 2 is the Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor "Quasi una fantasia" (Italian: Like (similar to) a fantasy), popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata.
		Beethoven wrote this sonata in 1801 and dedicated it to his pupil, the 17-year-old Countess Giulietta Guicciardi, with whom he was (or, according to some accounts, had been) in love.
		The stormy final movement, in sonata form, is the weightiest of the three, reflecting an experiment of Beethoven's (also carried out in the companion sonata, Opus 27 no. 1 and later on in Opus 101) of placing the most important movement of a sonata last.

		Beethoven's notes show that he originally planned the movement as a rondo for piano accompanied by another instrument, perhaps a violin.
		It is possible that the "Pathétique" sonata was inspired by an earlier work of Mozart, his piano sonata K. Mozart's work is likewise in C minor, has three movements in roughly the same character as Beethoven's, and in the first movement includes menacing rolling octaves for the left hand.
		As the sonata is one of the more famous of Beethoven's works, it has not surprisingly been incorporated from time to time into works of popular culture.

		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.
		Of the works that Haydn labelled piano sonatas, divertmenti or partita in Hob XIV 7 are in 2 movements, 35 are in three movements and 3 are in four movements, there are several in three and four movements whose authenticity is listed as "doubtful".
		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.

		Their focus is on Beethoven and his contemporaries, colleagues and rivals: composers who were trying to take the Mozart/Haydn language to new, more extreme levels.
		Beethoven’s wildly exuberant 7th Symphony moved Wagner to call it “the apotheosis of the dance.” Beethoven himself called it his “most excellent symphony.” Anton Reicha and Jan Ladislav Dussek, Czech contemporaries of Beethoven, elicited his praise and admiration.
		Beethoven was a man of deep and passionately held convictions.

	BBC - Radio 3 - Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 28 in A, Op. 101
		It was written in the summer of 1816, which Beethoven spent in the town of Baden, just south of Vienna.
		For all its intimacy, however, the Sonata in A can be properly regarded as the first of his great final group.
		The brief slow movement is a withdrawn Adagio, marked to be played throughout with the so-called 'soft pedal', and leads, by way of a brief recall of the Sonata's opening, to the joyful Allegro finale, a movement dominated by contrapuntal writing and incorporating a fugal exposition in its development.

		It was certainly through his intervention that the Elector released Beethoven for six months from the court orchestra to go to Vienna in 1878 to meet Mozart, and again through him that Beethoven was allowed to go there for a second - and final - time in 1792.
		Beethoven will certainly have used this as a bargaining tool in his persistence to return to Vienna - it could well have been the reason he agreed to it in the first place.
		Proof of Waldstein's faith and prophetic belief in Beethoven was the message he wrote in the young man's autograph book, signed by his friends when he left for Vienna to study with Haydn in November 1792.

		By the time he came to compose his twenty-eighth piano sonata in 1816 Beethoven was exhibiting his nationalistic fervour by his use of German rather than Italian for the tempo markings and for the instrument itself.
		Thus it was this Op.101 Sonata that was the first to be described as ‘für das Hammerklavier’ and not Op.106, although it is the later sonata to which the title ‘Hammerklavier’ has been attached.
		This lady was one of the few of Beethoven's aristocratic friends who were actually capable of playing the works he dedicated to them and was, in fact, the most distinguished of all the amateur pianists in Vienna at the time.

		Thayer further reports that Beethoven, in his usual impatience, followed the new motto of the time that German composers should replace Italian tempo indications with German ones, which led to the fact that the title page of this sonata had to be re-printed.
		In the case of the sonata, this soft chord, which represents the end of the descending progression and the termination of the Adagio, also embodies the a priori condition for the first movement, since it presents the exact sonority, in the precise register, out of which the opening of that movement has sprung.
		Although the movement is in a fairly regular sonata form, it is on a minute scale--only 102 bars and no repeats--so that the main weight of the whole sonata is placed on the finale, as in so many of Beethoven's later works.

	Guardian \| Beethoven: String Quartet no 12, Op 127; Piano Sonata no 28, Op 101, St Martin's Academy/ Perahia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Though Murray Perahia's recording of the five Beethoven piano concertos is a staple of the catalogue, he has seriously neglected the Beethoven piano sonatas on disc.
		Instead of more piano music, he has the first of the late string quartets, Opus 127 in E flat, as transcribed for string orchestra.
		One may miss the sense of stress that this supremely demanding music makes with four solo players, but the power of the piece, its weight and strength, is enhanced by the sound of the St Martin's Academy, with Perahia a strong and direct conductor.

		Before Beethoven, the solo piano compositions (piano sonatas) of Haydn and Mozart were more designed for teaching, parlor music or an occasional showing of virtuosity - but within the classical restraint of the Vieneese culture.
		Where piano sonatas before were well-suited for the dilattante and amatuer, these were now reserved only for the most advanced pianist.

		This dialog between Beethoven and the listener was to change radically by the time the last 5 sonatas (and quartets, incidently) were being written.
		Beethoven, though, is a different story: the paradoxical composer who managed to have all the power over structure of the Classical era before him, while using that incredible control (much like Pollini) in ever-more-innovative and personal ways to produce works evoking depths of emotion beyond anything that had been heard before.
		Maurizio Pollini's journey through the late Beethoven sonatas is a classic, a standard recording since it has appeared on LP in the seventies.

		But since he seems to have worked on all four at the same time in 1801 any implication of 'progression', let alone 'regression', through these sonatas would be misplaced.
		Before that come an expansive but generally relaxed sonata Allegro, an Andante with a sustained melody over a staccato, broken-chord bass and one of Beethoven's most humorous scherzos.
		Here, the composer plays with the simplicity of four repeated notes, descending through the registers of the piano, followed by a brief cadential phrase, while in the minor-key trio he manages to harmonise what is essentially a straightforward four-bar phrase six different ways.

		The first time I ever heard Beethoven's "Pathetique Sonata," I was about five years old, sitting in a movie theater with my mother, watching a roadshow of the 1969 picture, A Boy Named Charlie Brown.
		At one point, second-grade virtuoso Schroeder, delivers a moving rendition of the second movement of Beethoven's "Pathetique Sonata;" the interlude is impressionistic, combining portraits of Beethoven — Schroeder's idol — with abstract and religious imagery.
		The movie, like the sonata, like Charlie Brown himself, is both heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely sad.
