Sonata No. 4 in E flat major, Op 7

This sonata, written in 1797, marked an important point in Beethoven’s piano sonata output in that it looks both forward and back in different styles. There are passages, such as the playful last movement, which owe much to the earlier Mozart and Haydn. There are other parts, including the far more adventurous 1st movement, which indicate Beethoven’s own work later on.
