Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor, Op. 57 (colloquially known as the ''Appassionata'', meaning "passionate" in Italian) is among the three famous piano sonatas of his middle period (the others being the ''Waldstein'', Op. 53 and ''Les Adieux'', Op. 81a); it was composed during 1804 and 1805, and perhaps 1806, and was dedicated to Count Franz von Brunswick. The first edition was published in February 1807 in Vienna. Unlike the early Sonata No. 8, ''Pathétique'',〔Schindler, A. (1970). ''Biographie von Ludwig van Beethoven''. Reprografischer Nachdruck der Ausgabe Münster 1871. Georg Olms Verlag. p. 66〕 the ''Appassionata'' was not named during the composer's lifetime, but was so labeled in 1838 by the publisher of a four-hand arrangement of the work. One of his greatest and most technically challenging piano sonatas, the ''Appassionata'' was considered by Beethoven to be his most tempestuous piano sonata until the twenty-ninth piano sonata (known as the ''Hammerklavier''). 1803 was the year Beethoven came to grips with the irreversibility of his progressively deteriorating hearing. An average performance of the entire ''Appassionata'' sonata lasts about twenty-three minutes. ==Form== The sonata, in F minor, consists of three movements: #Allegro assai #Andante con moto #Allegro ma non troppo - Presto 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piano Sonata No. 23 (Beethoven)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
