Sonate pour le Pianoforte, Op. 15 Carl Ludvig Lithander
Allegro moderato; Adagio patetico; Menuetto
non Allegro con espressione; Rondo
Carl Ludvig Lithander (1773 - 1843) counts among the most prominent Finnish piano
composers of the classical period. He was born to a Finnish family living in Estonia.
Later he lived in Stockholm, London and Greifswald.
Sonate pour le Pianoforte in f-sharp minor was published in 1822
in Germany. It is dedicated to the Danish lord chamberlain and music lover Adam Wilhelm Hauch. It is
the second of Lithander´s two piano sonatas.
The first movement resembles the music by Muzio
Clementi and the second movement, Adagio
patetico, is similar to the slow movement of the Sonata op.13
"Pathétique" by Ludwig van Beethoven.
The third movement wavers between a minuet and a waltz. The final movement ends with a slow coda that
looks back to the second movement. Elisa
Järvi
