BEETHOVEN'S PIANOFORTE SONATAS
Played by EDWARD ISAACS Sonata in E, Op. 14, No. 1
Allegro; Allegretto ; Rondo (Allegro comodo)
WITHOUT any introduction, the first movement plunges at once into the happy first subject, a blend of vigour and playfulness. The second subject is a little more thoughtful, but the movement, on the whole concise and clear-cut in design, is in bright good spirits.
The second movement is a simple Allegretto in minor with a contrasting middle section in C major, and the last movement is a Rondo which, like the first movement, announces'its main tune at the outset.
