Ultima sonata di beethoven biography in spanish.
Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111
Maestoso - Allegro con brio ed appassionato
Arietta: Adagio molto, semplice e cantabile
In his last sonata, Beethoven seems to have found the ultimate solution to the unity of form by resolving in one movement the conflicts of the other.
The two movements contrast on a number of planes: major/minor, Allegro/Adagio, appassionato/semplice, sonata form/variation form, turmoil/ecstatic serenity, earthly/spiritual.
