The first movement has a piano part using mainly scale ideas at a fast tempo. The slow second movement is similar in form, with common arpeggiation and ornamenting. The last movement has a jolly melody for the main theme, played very fast, again based on scales. Beethoven most likely composed this concerto in 1784, when he was still in Bonn. [1]
Like Mozart's, Beethoven's musical talent was recognized at a young age, [3] and these three piano sonatas give an early glimpse of the composer's abilities, as well as his boldness. Beethoven was writing in a form usually attempted by older, more mature composers, [4] as the sonata was a cornerstone of Classical piano literature. Since they ...

The list of compositions of Ludwig van Beethoven consists of 722 works [1] written over forty-five years, from his earliest work in 1782 (variations for piano on a march by Ernst Christoph Dressler) when he was only eleven years old and still in Bonn, until his last work just before his death in Vienna in 1827.
On 10 April 2015, Hall again performed Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3, however, this time the first movement was omitted. The performance took place at the Wesley of Warragul. [13] In 2018, at age 96, Hall performed the 2nd movement, Larghetto, from Frédéric Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 a number of times.

Beethoven wrote the Second Symphony without a standard minuet; instead, a scherzo took its place, giving the composition even greater scope and energy. The ...

(He also wrote 3 juvenile sonatas at the age of 13 [1] and one unfinished sonata, WoO. 51.)Although originally not intended to be a meaningful whole, as a set they comprise one of the most important collections of works in the history of music.

Beethoven uses Mozart's favourite rondo form for this movement (ABACBA). The absence of the A theme in between the C and second B is a surprise and adds interest by reducing the repetition of the A theme. Intro, F minor (bars 1–9) (Larghetto expressivo)
The quartet in D major begins, more conventionally than the others, with a movement in sonata form, with a rather short development section.
