From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 6 in F major, op. 10 no. 2, was dedicated to the Countess Anne Margarete von Browne, and written from 1796 to 1798.

The sonata spans approximately 14 minutes.

[edit] Form

The sonata is divided into three movements:

1. Allegro in F major
2. Allegretto in F minor
3. Presto in F major

The first movement is in sonata form. The development is based on the C-G-C tag which concludes the exposition, with no clear use of any other material from the exposition.

The second movement is in A-B-A form, with the return of the first section strongly embellished. It is more reminiscent of Beethoven's Bagatelles than of most of his scherzi. The middle section, in D flat, has a hint of anticipation of the third movement of the First Symphony.

The third movement is in sonata form, with an extended fugal development.
