A pleasant miniature
Beethoven’s Sonatina in G Major has a pleasant and happy character throughout. The two movements are somewhat reminiscent of each other. Both melodic material and structure are similar, and the basic pulse remains more or less the same, although the first movement is in 4/4-time and the second in 6/8. In both movements, the right hand plays lyrical material, while the left hand mostly plays standard accompaniment patterns like Alberti bass and other forms of broken and divided chords.Background
The authenticity of this sonatina as a Beethoven piece has been called into question. It was actually published after the composer's death, leading some historians to doubt whether or not he actually composed it. Nevertheless, it is a well-known piece that is frequently studied and performed today.Forum posts about this piece:
