Beethoven

The Pathétique

1799
Vienna, Austria

Beethoven's eighth piano sonata the "Pathétique" (Op. 13), published in 1799 is described by the musicologist Barry Cooper as "surpassing any of his previous compositions, in the strength of character, depth of emotion, level of originality, and ingenuity of motivic and tonal manipulation."
