Help identifying piece

[Rach3]

Yet again, I have approximately one measure of unidentifiable music stuck in my head... it is piano (solo?), sounds like G major, and almost certainly Beethoven. I thought it was the 4th concerto but apparently it's not, I'm sure some of you will get this instantly - here is my pitiful attempt at notating it, verbally:

e (detached quarter note) c (the sixth above, half note, accented, in the context of a root ii chord I think) a b (dotted eight - sixteenth) || barline g (quarter, I-6-4) f# (quarter, maybe an ornament) [g?]

I think the context is a sequence, an answer, or a restatement of a motif. It's obviously some sort of cadence. Definitely feels like Beethoven... sorry it's so short!

Thanks for all your help.

The last single of Destiny's child  ?
Or maybe the first measures of the sonata you are going to start writing and which will become a world success and reference of the XXIst cent. piano music  ...

Just kidding, no offense. I can't figure it out, which is quite expectable, I'm not really a Ludwig fan.

[Rach3]

Never mind - I figured it out.

What was it ?

[Rach3]

Appasionata, duh.

(orignial cadence in E major)

so you refer to bar 74, being the only one in E major as I can see? just to be sure, cause I cannot really see why it should be a cadenza, anyway, in G Major it should than start with g (don´t want to split hair)
nevertheless, shame on me for not recognizing it, played it half a year ago (lol)

[Rach3]

It's not a cadenza, it's a cadence. It's a deceptive cadence in E. Any reference to G major was an unintended transposition on my part, I apologize.

well, then I learned a new thing, in English: cadenza not =cadence (as e.g. n German) sorry and thanks
