Sonata In G Major Op. 79 “Sonate facile”

Piano Sonata in G major Op.79 ‘Sonate facile’

The small sonata Op.79 which is called a “sonata” in the autograph but a “sonatina’ in the German first edition, belongs to the standardrepertoire for advanced beginners.

Beethoven’s autograph, written in 1809, had a convoluted history: Muzio Clementi extracted the individual movements from the manuscript and sold them separately. Only astroke of luck allowed them to be reunited many years later.
