Much controversy surrounds whether a strange A sharp in the transition to the recapitulation of this piece's first movement ought to be an A natural.
Much controversy surrounds whether a strange A sharp in the transition to the recapitulation of this piece's first movement ought to be an A natural. This piece's second movement concludes with four bars of prestissimo B natural octaves before reprising the B flat major dotted eighth, sixteenth, quarter, eighth note theme. This piece's first movement modulates from E flat major to B major in its four-voice fugato development built out of sequences of descending thirds. A tenth leap, followed by a trill and two descending seven-note scales, constitutes the subject of the monumental three-voice fugue comprising most of this sonata's final movement, which follows the lengthy F sharp minor adagio. For 10 points, name this challenging late piano sonata by the composer of Fidelio, nicknamed for the German term for early pianos.
