full_question: During a slow to fast transition in this work, an accelerating descending chromatic scale is played before a Mannheim Roller on a rapid octave C accompaniment. A G-C-D-E flat motif begins the rondo theme of the third movement of this work, and is transposed into E flat minor and passed between the hands in the second theme of its first movement. Its first movement includes a passage where a descending scale is played on thirty-second, then sixty-fourth, then hundred-twenty-eighth notes. Edward Elgar claimed that the opening of the "Nimrod" Enigma Variation was based on this composition, which was dedicated to Prince Karl Lichnowsky. It begins with a first movement Grave section on a long solid C minor chord. Its A-flat major andante cantabile second movement bears a strong resemblance to Mozart's C-minor 14th composition in the same genre. For 10 points, name this Beethoven composition for a solo keyboard instrument that shares its nickname with Tchaikovsky's sixth symphony.
