Piano Sonata No. 26 in E flat major, Op. 81a "Les Adieux"

Ludwig van  #Beethoven's #Piano Sonata No. 26 in E-flat major, Op. 81a, known as the Les Adieux sonata, was written during the years 1809 and 1810.

The title Les #Adieux implies a programmatic nature. The French attack on Vienna, led by #Napoléon #Bonaparte in 1809, forced Beethoven's patron,#Archduke #Rudolph, to leave the city. Yet, there is some uncertainty about this nature of the #piece — or at least, about the degree to which Beethoven wished this programmatic nature would be known . ( Wiki )
