Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major "Waldstein", Op. 53
by Ludwig van Beethoven
PianoClassical/RomanticSonata~25 minprofessional
Dedicated to Count Waldstein, this sonata marks the beginning of Beethoven's middle "heroic" period. The first movement's rapidly repeated chords and sweeping scales give way to one of the most luminous rondos in the piano literature, with its glissando octaves and ecstatic coda.
