About the Appassionata Product Details The Appassionata, Sonata in F Minor, Opus 57 was dedicated to Count Franz Brunsvik, completed in 1805 and published in 1807 by the Bureau des Arts et d’Industrie. The title was added by the publisher and is quite appropriate for this turbulent and dramatic work. It is characterized by driving rhythms, followed by a slow movement, and culminating in a relentlessly powerful finale. One stormy evening, Beethoven clutched his original manuscript while he fled from a heated argument with Prince Lichnowsky and this actual water-marked manuscript is now housed in the world-renowned Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Enjoy this “Complete Original” Masterpiece recorded by the incredibly talented Concert Pianist, Craig Stevens.
