Sonata pathetique

Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, op. 13, commonly known as Sonata Pathétique, was written in 1798 when the composer was 28 years old and published in 1799. Beethoven dedicated the work to his friend Prince Karl von Lichnowsky. Although commonly thought to be one of the few works to be named by the composer himself, it was actually named (to Beethoven's liking) by the publisher, who was impressed by the sonata's tragic sonorities.

The Pathétique Sonata, one of Beethoven's most well-known works, is perhaps the earliest of Beethoven's compositions to achieve widespread and enduring popularity. It is widely represented on the concert programs and recordings of professional pianists. As one of the more famous Beethoven pieces, it has been incorporated into several works of popular culture (e.g. it is used as the theme of the film The Man Who Wasn't There and Billy Joel's "This Night" from his album An Innocent Man and a "Fantasia"-like animated sequence of it is included in A Boy Named Charlie Brown).

Prominent musicologists debate whether or not the Pathétique may have been inspired by Mozart’s piano sonata K. 457, since both compositions are in C minor and have three very similar movements. The spacious second movement of Mozart's sonata, especially, makes use of a theme remarkably similar to that of the second movement, "Adagio cantabile," of Beethoven's. However, Beethoven's sonata uses a unique motif line throughout, a major difference from Haydn or Mozart’s creation.
