Description by James Leonard
Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) composed his Piano Sonata No. 2 in A flat major in 1816, four years after his Piano Sonata No. 1 in C major and just before his Piano Sonata No. 3 in D minor. Like Weber's other piano works, his Sonata in A flat major is a virtuoso work with singing melodies and dramatic structures. The opening Allegro moderato, Con spirito ed assai legato is a large-scale sonata with lyrical themes and stormy developments. The following Andante is a weird graceful theme with a set of spooky variations. The following Menuetto capriccioso/Presto assai is a fast and witty virtuoso scherzo and a grandly lyrical trio. The closing Rondo (Moderato e molto grazioso) is warmly lyrical and expansively dramatic. And like Weber's other piano works, his Piano Sonata in A flat major is pretty much ignored by most pianists.

In my first year at conservatory we had to play an entire Beethoven sonata. I proposed this wonderful work by Weber instead, they agreed and were happily surprised, since then it has been in my repertoire, that's for more than 40 years now and I'm still in love with the piece.
Wunderschöne und warmherzige Interpretation dieser frühromantischen und perfekt komponierten Klaviersonate im veränderlichen Tempo mit klar artikuliertem doch elegantem Anschlag und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt elegant. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch beweglich. Wahrhaft intelligenter und genialer Pianist!
His piano works are greatly overshadowed. I appreciate you posting these!
I would love to see a live production of Der Freischütz though, it was one of my favorite operas that I studied in my music history sequence.
"Overshadowed"? What a disparaging remark......Cheers from Mexico City!
@@steveegallo3384 they are though, when people think of C.M. von Weber they think of opera. But all I'm saying is that his piano works are just as serious and so pleasant to listen to.
@@evanmisejka4062 -- Very well, then....OBSERVED & NOTED. I accept your Apology and Manifestations of Obeisance....especially as you're from County Cork.
Thank you for uploading this marvelous Sonata!
In the second movement there is a theme that sounds like "Happy Birthday". So funny!
It's beautiful :D
Very nice❤
