Piano Sonata in E minorOp. 90 · I

Ludwig van Beethoven

The first movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 90, composed in 1814. Warmly expressive and flexible in pace, this movement alternates chords and wide leaps in both hands with lyrical phrases that continually slow down and resume tempo. Beethoven wrote this sonata after a court ordered him to give a publisher a new piano sonata to pay off a debt he had guaranteed for his brother.
