Such as the “Moonlight Sonata”, the title “Appasionata” (Passionate) was not given by Beethoven. It came later on, by a publisher of the piece in 1838. This sonata was composed in 1804 and dedicated to Count Franz von Brunswick. This intense and difficult sonata has been described as revolutionary, tempestuous, stormy, emotional, to list just a few.
