The nickname appassionata probably came from a four-hand version entitled Sonata appassionata, published in Hamburg in 1838. The famous opening thematic statement played two octaves apart and repeated immediately a half step higher sets a mood of tension and conflict in this majestic sonata.

Although the Op. 79 bears no dedication, Beethoven may have planned to use it ...
