Beethoven Piano Sonata #4 In C Major, Op. 7, No. 4 - 2. Largo Con Gran by Daniel Barenboim

[SuhmMusic]

Beethoven indicated it was in E-flat major*

[SuhmMusic]

But you write Piano Sonata in C major. The Sonata is written in E-flat major, but this particular movement is in C major, but saying the the Piano Sonata no 4 is in C major is wrong, Beetoven indicated it was in c major. That should sort things out.

[Dante121892]

I believe this sonata is in C Major as well. It sounds very placating and calm :)

[Evaldaras]

Look at the score and you will see that Largo, con gran espressione movement is in C major ;)

@Evaldaras You are right about the movement, but I don't agree with the title "Beethoven Piano Sonata #4 In C Major, Op. 7", It is completely wrong and confusing, please correct it, thanks! :)

E flat major, sir. =) and nice interpretation.

[rwicker05yes]

The first movement of this sonata is in Eb major but this particular movement is indeed in C major.

[hanhensbart]

this sonata is in E flat major, it isn't in C major... ;))

[lilly763]

This movement is in C major, so I think that's why the poster put the C major in the title. But it confused me too.

Out of curiosity, where do you hear the climax at... with the development, or once the recap hits?

There is a dynamic climax in m. 45, w/in the Dev., and another with a clera melodic line beginning in m. 60ff, where the second phrase is developed. Otherwise, I wouldn't hear a climax until mm. 75ff, which is the second theme of the recap.

What do you think?
