I have a question that has been puzzling me for quite some time now. Does any body have a clue about what the second theme of the first part of Op57 is all about? I'm talking about the A, A-C-B-A-A, A-C-B-A-F etc. notes, after the first slow down (rephasion of the basic theme) in the third page of the piece (in most editions). Did Beethoven write anything about what it means? And why is it heared just 2 short times with no variations when the basic theme is played again and again again so many times?

I've never heard that there was a program to this sonata.

After the 3 trills and the descending notes.
That "explosion" is what i'm talking about, the 2 first bars realy.
Noone possed a question to me, it's just a matter that troubles me and my playing.
You see while the first main theme which is just harmonic notes and a trill is repeated over and over with so many types of variations, this "theme" which to my opinion is closer to the idea of the Appasionata is left so unexplored.
