This sonata seems to clearly summarize the achievements of the first group of sonatas. Its greatest feature is that all three movements are written in sonata form, and it has returned to the previous three-movement system, and each movement presents a new attempt.
After Beethoven wrote the first four sonatas in the form of large-scale four movements, he began to explore new ways to develop sonata form. This is the first piano sonata with three movements created by Beethoven by deleting the minuet or scherzo movement.
These three movements not only retain the uniqueness of classical sonatas, but also deal with them very concisely. Their musical thoughts and contents are very grand and rich, and they have a strong sense of tension. Their forms are very compact and expressive, and the whole song is full of passion.

This is a passionate, powerful and dramatic movement, which runs through an irresistible force from beginning to end and is full of male determination. The main theme of the movement consists of the motive of opening and the motive of smooth expression alternately, and their opposition has already predicted the style of the whole movement.
The new tunes appearing in the expansion department also have a sad expression. When the pent-up enthusiasm gradually subsided, the initial motivation of the reproductive department suddenly broke out again. The movement is symphonic, complete and rigorous, and deepens the expression of the author's inner feelings at an appropriate speed.
The formation of movements is also very compact, the unified rhythm and pulse are extremely reasonable, and they are connected as a whole, and the different images of each paragraph are very vivid. It is passionate and powerful, full of vigor and vitality, showing a fiery force and full of positive energy. Zilan aptly described this movement as a picture of looking for forest towels. The heroic power of "hunting" will surely arouse people's moral and psychological thinking.
