Beethoven on Board - Sonata No. 2 in A Major
Scherzo (1)
Bars 1 - 18
Although similar to a minuet and trio, which Beethoven inserted as a third movement for his Sonata No. 1 to create a four-movement structure, this movement is marked Scherzo and is the first of such by Beethoven. The A minor trio section adds contrast to the cheerful opening and there is also an unusual second melody in the remote key of G-Sharp minor.
