Like Mozart's, Beethoven's musical talent was recognized at a young age,[3] and these three piano sonatas give an early glimpse of the composer's abilities, as well as his boldness.
Beethoven was writing in a form usually attempted by older, more mature composers,[4] as the sonata was a cornerstone of Classical piano literature.
One of the main characteristics of Beethoven's thought is evident in this sonata: the development of a multitude of contrasting motifs and characters from a basic cell.
In the conception of the time, the key of F minor is perceived as severe and passionate, and Beethoven would return to this character later, especially in the Sonatas Op.
The Presto, with its unison passages and its agitated lines, puts a passionate end to this remarkable work, written by a child.
