    Beethoven sonata. But which?

    I can't remember the sonata number or opus number. Would you be so kind to tell me? It's not the beginning of whatever movement in the sonata it is:

    Would it be the opening of the Appassionata, Opus 57?
    I could be totally wrong because I can't read music.

    Where are the experts?

      They have forgotten me! I'm afraid the excerpt was too short. Certainly not Appassionata. I expect not having been impolite in quoting in musical notation. The fragment would be in F major if for the sharp, which makes it its relative minor, D minor. But I chose the first key that came to my mind, for I do not know the tonality. Thanks Michael.

        Good job I admitted I can't read music.

        Now, if somebody could hum it for me .............

          It helps a little but what is in your heart can't be learned.

              Reminds me of a bit from the last movement of Sonata No. 26, Op. 81a, though I don't think it ever occurred in a minor key there.

                I don't know any such passage from the piano sonatas - could it be from a violin sonata as suggested by the long bars of rests? Also note the change of key signature between your two quotes, though both excerpts are in D minor.

                    The key is G minor and the movt is probably the scherzo.

                      It does seem similar to the scherzo of Op.27/1, but the key is wrong - are you sure those notes are correct?

                            That's what I said - Op.27/1 Scherzo, but you gave the wrong key and notes!!

                            The key is C minor (3 flats) and the opening notes are C Eb G

                              Peter, I'm a human being! I merely mentally transposed it.

                              EDIT: Yes, I began in the dominant and it really begins the arppegio with tonic.
