Easier Piano Pieces 73-Anton Diabelli (1781-1858) was an Austrian musician. Best known in his time as a publisher he famously wrote a Waltz theme and in a publicity stunt sent it to 50 leading Austrian composers asking them to write a variation on it. However Beethoven got carried away and wrote a complete set of 33 variations which now bear Diabelli?s name consigning him to the same class of fame as Goldbach. These Seven Sonatinas (Op. 168) were written in 1839 and have remained popular examples of the Sonatina form. They are all in three movements and follow a similar Moderato - Andante - Rondo structure.

Of the three sonatinas written by Beethoven the Sonatina in G is the most accessible appealing and successful. It is a light-hearted two-movement sonatina which remains almost entirely in the key of G. The B section of the second movement opens in the dominant key of D providing harmonic motion coupled with beautiful melodic motion in the right hand. Beethoven's craftsmanship is evident in the coda to this movement. Here the opening motif is used to settle expressively on the E-minor chord recalling the E-minor harmony of the third measure. This provides structural balance and harmonic interest. The Pianist can accentuate this moment by playing the first section of thecoda softly and unhurriedly.
