This is really a musician's sonata! It is underrated by the general public because it's not ultra-dramatic like so much of Beethoven's sonata-writing, but it has so much sure-handed development and a lyrical sweetness and poetic imagery to it. I think there's a flavor of a kind of innocent romantic love in the first stages that's depicted here, in different ways, in both movements. And the interesting key, for Beethoven, of F-sharp major keeps the pianist's hands close up to the fallboard as "home' is placed "up on the terrace" of the black keys. I love the way the final movement begins on the dissonant chord that doesn't resolve until the end of the phrase. Then there's the cat-and-mouse-chase feel to the entire finale that you also explicitly mention here. Indeed, like the first stages of love.
