The Piano Sonata No. 17<\/em><\/a> in D Minor, Op. 31, No. 2, was composed in 1801\u201302 by Ludwig van Beethoven<\/a>. It is usually referred to as “The Tempest” (or Der Sturm in his native German), but the sonata was not given this title by Beethoven, or indeed referred to as such during his lifetime. The name comes from a reference to a personal conversation with Beethoven by his associate Anton Schindler in which Schindler reports that Beethoven suggested, in passing response to his question about interpreting it and Op. 57, the Appassionata sonata, that he should read Shakespeare’s Tempest. – H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Grimaud<\/a><\/p>\n
