This Sonata
Movement is Glorious
Haydn Sonata Hob: XVI: 52
(Second Movement)

This correct response in our test is a beautiful sonata movement marked adagio. Although Haydn wrote the outer movements of this 1794 piano sonata in the key of Eb major, he chose the distant key of E major for this slow movement. This adagio is highly decorative and wonderfully expressive.

Decoys

The second movement of Mozart’s KV 283 is marked as andante. As for Beethoven’s Op. 14, No. 1, it has a middle allegretto movement that is in the tonic minor key of E minor. Eventually, using E as a pivot note, Beethoven modulates into C major and uses a predominantly quarter note rhythm as a contrast to preceding material.
