2nd Sonata, Opus 12, No. 2, in A.
Allegro vivace—Andante più tosto Allegretto—Allegro piacevole.
Although this Sonata offers no outstanding point of interest, it is to be regretted that it is not more frequently heard. There are one or two places where the sunny sky is slightly overcast, but on the whole, it is a work brimful of youthful happiness. The Andante, somewhat frail, is like the Finale, full of fine melody, and gay with optimistic feelings of youth.
