This piece's second movement was described by Franz Liszt as "a flower between two chasms," and that scherzo movement switches over to the major key and repeats its short melody twenty times throughout the piece. This work's mostly pianissimo first movement is instructed to be played with the sustain pedal depressed the entire time, and consists of both a theme which is accented at the beginning of each measure and a constant ostinato triplet motive. This piece's third movement uses a plethora of sforzando notes which gives this piano section a stormy quality and is given the tempo marking "presto agitato." For 10 points, identify this C-minor "Quasi una fantasia" work by Beethoven that was given its nickname due to its semblance to illumination upon Lake Lucerne.
