Piano Sonata No. 13 (Beethoven)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonata in E-flat major, Op. 27 No. 1, has four movements:

1. Andante - Allegro - Andante in ternary form, ABA. In E-flat major, middle section in C.
2. Allegro molto vivace In C minor.
3. Adagio con espressione In A-flat major.
4. Allegro vivace

A typical performance lasts 16 minutes.

The second movement, also in ternary form, has no eighth notes until after the middle section in A-flat. After that, it is similar to the first section, but everything the right hand does is an eighth note later than it was in the first section.

The fourth movement is sometimes considered part of the third movement; after the Allegro vivace section, there is a section labeled "Tempo E", and is quite similar to the third movement (although in E-flat), and after that is a very short Presto section.
