At this time, Beethoven had lost his former overflowing creativity and was in a serious slump. In addition to the loss of his hearing, there was a decline in physical strength due to his age, economic hardship due to a reduction in his pension, and the failure of a marriage that could be said to have been a lifelong endeavor. The number of works he published decreased, and not all of them were masterpieces. However, in contrast, his reputation among his contemporaries was very high, and he succeeded as a prominent figure in Austria, where Napoleon had fallen and the momentum for the Congress of Vienna was rising (though this reputation would subside as soon as the Congress of Vienna concluded).
This work was his first piano sonata in four years. It has a two-movement structure, with sonata form and rondo form adopted respectively. While there are no major structural peculiarities, the deep emotion contained within is of a fundamentally different quality from previous works in the same genre. Including the fact that the musical ideas are notated in German, the piano sonata, which he embarked on after a long hiatus, clearly shows a path towards the solitary period characterized by a grand-scale ambition. It can also be pointed out that it exhibits developments that could be considered a precursor to Romantic-style piano works by composers such as Schubert and Schumann. Parts like the theme of the second movement—where a leisurely, cantabile melody forms the structural foundation—can also be heard in Schubert's piano works.
