The complete piano Sonata in B minor, Op. 58: I. Allegro maestoso by Frédéric Chopin.
The Sonata in B minor, Op. 58, was composed in 1844 and published in 1845. It retains the dramatic structuring inherited from the Classics. Here, as in Mozart and Beethoven, the composition—rendered coherent by means of differences, contrast, and end-weighting—comprises four movements. The narrative of the first movement, Aallegro maestoso, rises and falls, ranging from accents of strength, from tumult and terror, to moments of nocturne-like quietude, before ultimately finding a haven in the two lyrical themes. It is they that fill the reprise, concluding the first act of the Sonata in lyrical exultation.
