Tragically Beautiful. Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata is one of the composer's most beautiful and haunting pieces... He wrote the tragic piano piece early in his life, and it's continued to capture listeners' hearts for over 200 years.
Beethoven wrote the Pathetique sonata in 1798, when he was 27 years old. It was his 8th piano sonata (he certainly churned them out!). He published it properly the next year as his Opus 13, with a dedication to his buddy the Austrian Prince Karl von Lichnowsky.
