The Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5 of Johannes Brahms was written in 1853. Composed in Düsseldorf, it marks the end of his cycle of three sonatas, and was presented to Robert Schumann in November of that year; it was the last work which Brahms submitted to Schumann for commentary. Brahms was barely 20 years old at its composition.

The sonata is in five movements:

  • Allegro maestoso
  • Andante. Andante espressivo - Andante molto
  • Scherzo. Allegro energico avec trio
  • Intermezzo (Rückblick / Regard en arrière) Andante molto
  • Finale. Allegro moderato ma rubato

A performance of the work generally lasts 40 minutes or more.
