Description
The finale of Sonata No. 24 maintains a light, bouncing rhythm throughout, balancing the compact first movement with its own lively energy. Rather than technical flash, it conveys agility and charm, and its brief duration gives the whole sonata a neatly compact shape, packing lively motion into under three minutes.
Piano sonatas representative of the Classical and Romantic eras, including Beethoven's early works — substantial multi-movement pieces throughout.
