Ludwig van Beethoven "Pathétique" Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13
Inspired by Mozart's sonata no. 14, this was the work that made Beethoven a force to be reckoned with in the world of Western music - a masterclass in technique and in compositional direction. For being structured in three distinct movements, everything transitions seamlessly together, and the melodies Beethoven uses to stitch these sections are as potent as he would ever write. The cantabile slow movement, especially, is a musical moment for the ages.		5.0

Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 7 in D major, Op. 10, No. 3
The final movement in this sonata is one of Beethoven's finest to date, balancing between sparseness and speedier passages alike. The rest is strong in its own right.		4.0
12.25.22
Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 6 in F major, Op. 10, No. 2
Slight, but an oddity in Beethoven's catalog as a result, allowing the composer to have a bit more fun than he's accustomed to.		3.5
12.24.22
Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 5 in C minor, Op. 10, No. 1
The first movement is as close as we get to a proper Beethoven sound, the rest of it being somewhat more aggressive takes on Mozartean ideas. Still nice though.		3.5
12.24.22
Ludwig van Beethoven Three String Trios, Op. 9
Beethoven said this was his best work up to this point in his career. Even if you don't agree, he certainly uses this space to lay some pretty incredible groundwork for his future string pieces (most of them quartets). Best of these might be the C minor trio (No. 5).		4.0
12.24.22
Ludwig van Beethoven Rage Over a Lost Penny in G Major, Op. 129
A lark, but a well-written one, a rondo written in a Hungarian style (as opposed to the Turkish style of Mozart's Rondo alla turca).		3.5
12.24.22
Ludwig van Beethoven Violin Sonata No. 3 in E♭ major, Op.12, 3
The strongest of the first trio of sonatas, carried by some great dynamics in the first movement and the most tonally interesting second movement of the bunch.		4.0
12.24.22
