Up to this point we are in the key of Bb major‚ ending on a half cadence. Though it stays in this key‚ E is tonicized with a five of four in measures 11 and 16.

    in Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata (#21‚ Op 53) As the length of sonatas grew under pens such as Beethoven‚ the free exercise of many layers of musical contrast kept the longer works fresh and palatable. This sonata doesn’t have as bold of contrasts as Beethoven’s later works‚ but they still exist. The first movement starts with a quiet intro that swells with excitement at measure 11‚ only to calm back to a quiet simmering two measures later. As a middle period sonata‚ the dynamics do not switch
