Obs.: This famous piece is certainly one of Beethoven's most famous works for solo piano. It was first published in 1867 under the title Klavierstück in A moll Keyboard Piece in A minor.
The piece is written in 3/8 time and has the following musical form:
Measures 1-8: Phrase 1 of the theme in A minor, a quiet melody played by the right hand accompanied by arpeggios in the left hand
Measures 9-14: Phrase 2 of the theme, in C Major
Measures 15-22: Phrase 1 returns in A minor
Measures 23-37: Contrasting section in F major, modulating to C Major and back to A minor
Measures 38-58: Theme returns (phrases 1-2-1)
Measures 59-81: Contrasting agitated section set over a pedal point on A and ending in arpeggios and a chromatic descent
Measures 82-end: Theme returns(phrases 1-2-1)
Scholars do not agree as to whether there should be a D or an E in measure 7 (second note, right hand) and in subsequent similar passages. However, most modern editions show a D, as you'll see in this arrangement.
