Les Adieux
Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 26 in E major, Op. 81a, known as ''Les Adieux'' ("The Farewell"), was written during the years 1809 and 1810. The title ' implies a programmatic nature. The French attack on Vienna, led by Napoléon Bonaparte in 1809, forced Beethoven's patron, Archduke Rudolph, to leave the city. Yet, there is some uncertainty about this nature of the piece — or at least, about the degree to which Beethoven wished this programmatic nature should be known. He titled the three movements "", "", and "" ('farewell', 'absence', and 'reunion'), and reportedly regarded the French "" (said to whole assemblies or cities) as a poor translation of the feeling of the German "" (said heartfully to a single person).

Beethoven Piano Sonata No 26 Mvmt 2 Bars 1-4
Ludwig van Beethoven (baptised 17 December 177026 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music. His career has conventionally been divided into early, middle, and late periods. His early period, during which he forged his craft, is typically considered to have lasted until 1802. From 1802 to around 1812, his middle period showed an individual development from the styles of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and is sometimes characterized as heroic.
