Julius Reubke died at a young age. He left only a few keyboard pieces and two major works: a sonata for organ and another for piano. These compositions are today considered among the most worthy accomplishments of the Romantic generation in their respective genres. Beethoven's first sketches of this work date from the fall of 1803, as he was finishing his third symphony. Similar to how the Eroica shook the symphonic genre, the op.53 shattered the conventions of the piano sonata.
