This has only two parts (Andante and Rondo), so it’s not actually a sonata. Beethoven probably wrote it as an excercise for his students and didn’t want it to be published. His brother, however, thought it should be, and nowadays this little piece is included among Beethoven’s other sonatas, so we thought you might want to give it a try.

We want to thank Bunji Hisamori for his kind permission to post the above audio rendering on our blog. The midi file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives. The previous sonatas from this series are here.
