About

Beethoven’s Second and Third sonatas contain so much material as to be “enough for twenty”, while the First, judging by rough copies, was conceived quite differently from the start - as a composition which employs musical means as economically as possible.

Beethoven is very versatile in these compositions: a free genius who creates with limitless freedom, he writes sonatas which are closer in scale to symphonies and more difficult than anything else previously written for the piano, yet at the same time he is the most academic of classicists who can put any drama into compact form, cast according to all 18th-century rules. Haydn was right to say that Beethoven had many heads, hearts and souls.
