Pathetique by Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven
the pathetique sonata
The 1st movement of the Sonate Pathetique, by L. Beethoven.
In symphony genre, Beethoven composed No 5 in c minor, Pastoral and Choral symphonies. Pathetique, Moonlight, Waldstein, Appassionata and Hammerklavier sonatas are his popular works in the genre. His most famous concerto is Emperor Piano Concerto.
There are so so very many. But my personal favourite is Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique.
Mozart composed in the classical period and Beethoven composed in the romantic period.
It is not known why Beethoven composed the Moonlight Sonata. Beethoven composed the Moonlight Sonata in Hungary in the summer of 1801.
That would be a portion of the the first movement of Ludwig von Beethoven's Piano Sonata in C Minor (Pathetique)
Beethoven wrote a lot of 'masterpieces.' His best known pieces would probably be the Moonlight Sonata, especially the first movement, his Pathetique Sonata, and the most infamous, Fur Elise. Hope this helps!!
