Ludwig van Beethoven

Piano Sonatas, WoO 47, "Kurfürsten Sonatas"

WoO 47 Keyboard

The Three Piano Sonatas, WoO 47, were composed by Ludwig van Beethoven probably between 1782 and 1783, when he was between eleven and twelve years old. The sonatas show a certain level of precocity and serve as a precursor to the masterworks he later produced. They are dedicated to the Prince-elector (German: Kurfürst) Maximilian Friedrich and therefore also known as the Kurfürstensonaten.
