Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 10

Beethoven Piano Sonatas • Music

Type: Piano Solo
Location: Berlin State Opera House
Soloist: Daniel Barenboim
Composer: Beethoven
Year: 1984

Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 10 in G major, Op. 14 No. 2, in Daniel Barenboim’s capable hands, is often regarded as one of Beethoven's most charming and understated masterpieces. Though composed early in Beethoven’s career (1798–99), this sonata is praised for its quality and elegance with balanced drama. The three movements are light yet inventive, featuring rhythmic wit, gentle lyricism, and quiet surprises. Barenboim reveals Beethoven’s wit with refined restraint not virtuosic fireworks.
