Beethoven's Easiest Sonata

Beethoven published this sonata in 1805. That’s 10 years after he wrote it, meaning that it predates even the first symphony. It’s a short work of just about eight minutes in length, it comprises only two movements, and it is also considered the easiest of all the Beethoven piano sonatas. Beethoven often held back pieces that he didn’t think were good enough or that he thought needed further improvement. In the case of this sonata and its immediate predecessor, it was Caspar van Beethoven, the composer's brother, who presented them to a publishing house, most likely against the composer's will. Had Beethoven himself released this sonata for publication, he would have called it a sonatina, owing to its modest proportions and simplified sonata form. This relaxed and playful piece doesn’t hint much at what would come later, but together with Sonata No. 19, the piece does show Beethoven’s quality even though he was feeling out the scope of his composing at the time.

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
