Beethoven on Board - Sonata No. 2 in A Major
Allegro vivace (1)
Bars 1 - 57
Written in the same year as the previous sonata, the first movement opens with a far brighter mood possibly evoking a pastoral setting with the cuckoo calls. This early work still carries a strong influence of Haydn and Mozart, but there are some developments, including some striking modulations for the time period.
