Beethoven’s first notable work in C major is the piano sonata Opus 2 number 3. With the Opus 2 piano sonatas, like the preceding Opus 1 trios, Beethoven announced to the world that he was not simply a virtuoso keyboard artist, but was a composer of the highest rank.
In later years, Beethoven himself wrote : "When I took a look at my first manuscripts, a few years after I had written them, I wondered whether I was not crazy to have incorporated in one single piece enough diverse content to have filled 20 pieces."
