Radiofrance: "Here is a concise sonata, without a slow movement. Beethoven could well have used the indication dear to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach a few decades earlier: *“für Kenner und Liebhaber”* (“for connoisseurs and amateurs”). Indeed, its playful freshness, buoyant staccatos, and theatrical effects make the work enjoyable and immediately accessible. In the opening *Allegro*, the seasoned listener will furthermore admire the skill with which the composer moves from one motif to another without ever losing sight of the formal trajectory. They will delight in the “false” recapitulation of the opening theme in D major, followed by a return to the proper path in the principal key of F major.
Although the *Allegretto* is performed at the tempo of a minuet, it does not possess its character. It begins in a mysterious atmosphere, with both hands in unison in the lower register, and continues without relinquishing its sense of unease. The central section moves with extreme restraint, repeating chords in a trochaic rhythm (long-short), before descending scale figures bring it to life. The return of the opening section includes significant rhythmic variations, such as the syncopated writing in the right hand, which heightens the agitation.
Almost entirely staccato, the playful *Presto* owes much of its vividness to jolts of displaced accents and swirling broken octaves. Monothematic, it exploits the imitative entries of its fanfare-like motif. While Beethoven reaches full maturity by developing the means to expand musical forms, he simultaneously learns how much can be achieved through the greatest economy of means."
