In this work the composer takes a popular Hungarian theme and fashions sixteen brilliant variations from its material. A remarkable achievement from a composer still only 25 years old which illustrates both the breadth of his imagination and the passion of his musical feeling. Bound together in a single coherent work the theme and bravura variations represent a high point in Classical style while simultaneously looking forward towards the developments of Romantic piano technique.

This solo piano sonata, of moderate technical difficulty, is a completion of a fragment left unfinished by Beethoven sometime around 1798 and has the without opus catalog number WoO 51. The first movement is entirely by Beethoven and is scored with minor edits. The second movement was abandoned by Beethoven at m. 121, and the movement is completed here by St. Clair. The third movement, a rondo in the style of Beethoven, is completely by Richard St. Clair. (A very poor completion of the second movement was made by Ferdinand Ries, a pupil of Beethoven.)

With not so much as a single wasted note in this entire composition the twentieth sonata is an object lesson in the qualities of composition which characterised the very best of the High Classical period. Elegant, confident, expressive and profoundly musical, the grande sonata composed for his childhood mentor Bernhard Romberg and redolent with the influence of his other teacher Beethoven, still has the capacity to transport us into the sound world of an exciting musical age, an age that ushered in the Romantic era in no uncertain terms.

Fernando Sor or Josep Ferran Sorts i Muntades (baptized 14 February 1778 – died 10 July 1839) was a Spanishclassical guitarist and composer. While he is best known for his guitar compositions, he also composed music for a wide range of genres, including opera, orchestra, string quartet, piano, voice, and ballet. His ballet score Cendrillon(Cinderella) received over one hundred performances. Sor's works for guitar range from pieces for beginning players to advanced players such as Variations on a Theme of Mozart. Sor's contemporaries considered him to be the best guitarist in the world,[1] and his works for guitar have been widely played and reprinted since his death.[2] Although modern classical guitar players usually do, Sor rarely used his ring finger and refused the usage of nails when playing.[3]

As Sor's works were published in various countries, his name was translated, leading to variations in the spelling. Variations have included Joseph Fernando Macari Sors, Fernando Sor, Ferran Sor, Ferdinand Sor, and Ferdinando Sor. Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Sor
