late beginner

Allegro Op.52 No.2

Johann Nepomuk Hummel

What's this piece like?
Although this piece was written in 1810, it is very much rooted in the Classical style from the mid 18th century, both in mood and in musical elements. It also has all the characteristics of a Sonata-Form: we have an exposition with two themes (the first in C major and the second in the dominant key of G major); a development section after a repeat sign that breaks down both themes heard earlier; and a recapitulation where both themes are played on the home key of C major. The character is innocent, bold and courageous, a common affect from music in the Classical period. It is nonetheless very pianistic, and may serve as a great musical and finger exercise for late beginner to intermediate pianists.
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for beginners who are polishing their technique.
