9th Sonata, Opus 14, No. 1, in E Major
Allegro—Allegretto—Rondo.
The two Sonatas in this Opus, which is dedicated to the Baroness von Braun, are not very interesting. No. 9 has no slow movement. The meditative feeling having, apparently, crept into the Allegretto, which should again be taken as two bars in one. The Rondo in E is of great beauty and finish. The middle episode has again the feeling of a hunting song.
They appeared for the first time in December, 1799.
