The year 1802 saw not only the publication of the three sonatas, Op. 31, but also the composition of the Second Symphony and the writing of the Heiligenstadt Testament, a letter to the composer's brothers lamenting bis worsening deafness. Though the first sonata of the group has been overshadowed by the second and third, it was especially admired by the critic D.F. Tovey.

The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim has been active on the concert stage since the age of seven when he made his stage debut in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim is described as "one of the few musicians in the world today who could accurately be describe as legendary".
