Piano Sonata No. 22 (Beethoven)

Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 22 in F major, op. 54, was written in 1804. The piano sonata consists of two movements:

In tempo d'un menuetto: Anton Kuerti refers to this song as a parody of uncreative composers. The melody commences, but grinds to a halt, and after doing this again, it decides to suddenly end the phrase in an attempted friendly way, which is anything but friendly, and nothing but awkward. This song gradually redeems itself (but not much) when it garners variations for its main theme. Only at the coda does a virtuoso performance take place.

Allegretto: "If the first movement was constipated, than the second movement suffers from the opposite ailment." (Anton Kuerti) This is shown in the song, as the main melody has a non-stop continuous, sixteenth-note pattern that does not stop for even a second in this song. The song gradually gets more and more agitated in the coda, almost similar to a mechanical mixer going out of control and splattering its ingredients throughout the entire room.
