Viennese Elegance

Like its sister work, the Sonatina No. 6 in G major Anh. 5/1, the Sonatina in F major is of a pleasant and happy character. Its two movements are both in an elegant, distinctly Viennese classical style, the first movement lively and energetic, the second a charming and slightly more laid-back Rondo. Likewise a great piece for the early intermediate student who wants to get to know Beethoven’s style, this Sonatina provides a great opportunity to study running and even execution of elegant passagework.

Background

The authenticity of this sonatina as a Beethoven piece has been called into question. It was actually published after the composer's death, leading some historians to doubt whether he composed it. Regardless of their origin, both the Sonatina in G major and the Sonatina in F major have become popular staples of the beginner’s repertoire.
