LECTURE NOTES: --------------1st movt: allegro--------------- 1. no dynamics instructions for this movement, and only 2 for the next: 2 pianissimo 2. @3:56 the beautiful juxtaposition of quavers & triplets 3. @4:30 development starts in Dm, then Am, Em, Bm in a sequence of 1/5. 4. @4:53 chamber music-like/orchestral with the knocking quavers in the bass --------------2nd movt: menuetto------------ 5. @5:47 Op.20 has the same theme in a different key. In it, it provokes the image of a village band with the double bass, cello and viola playing accompaniment 6. @8:08 an episode scored for perhaps woodwinds 7. @11:25 a second episode in C major: trumpets, horns & timpani 8. @11:42 the strings 9. @12:07 first of the only 2 times Beethoven wrote pianissimo
Opus 49 No 2 is Beethoven’s easiest keyboard piece by some distance both technically and musically*; if you cannot manage this ‘Sonate facile’ then you can’t play anything by Beethoven. * Apart from some juvenile trivia.
