That Beethoven was enduring frustrations of going deaf, unrequited loves and strife with patrons when he composed his Piano Sonata No. 23 might explain its dark and agitated feel throughout, until all his held-back energy is finally released in a ferocious conclusion. Beethoven’s “Appassionata” Piano Sonata No. 23 is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
