1800–01, Beethoven composed three piano sonatas, including the Moonlight Sonata. Others from the period include Op. 31, No. 2, which has a recitative-like passage (CHWM, ex. 15.3). In 1804 he composed Op. 53, the Waldstein Sonata (named for a patron) which portrays a storm with thunder in the left hand and lightning in the right (CHWM, ex. 15.4). After the Waldstein he composed the Appassionata and three others during his middle period.
