Cranz. The sonata it is admired for the intricacy and technicality in the ease it portrays. It is dedicated to the Count Joseph von Sonnenfels and takes approximately 25 minutes to play.It has been speculated whether the title refers to the sense of countryside and nature (like Symphony 6), or to its sense of calm, simplicity and lightness.
