Editing Piano Sonata No. 14 (Beethoven) (section)

==Influence on later composers==
The C{{music|sharp}} minor sonata, particularly the third movement, is held to have been the inspiration for [[Frédéric Chopin]]'s ''[[Fantaisie-Impromptu]]'', and the ''Fantaisie-Impromptu'' to have been in fact a tribute to Beethoven.{{sfn|Oster|1983}} It manifests the key relationships of the sonata's three movements, chord structures, and even shares some passages. [[Ernst Oster]] writes: "With the aid of the ''Fantaisie-Impromptu'' we can at least recognize what particular features of the C{{music|sharp}} minor Sonata struck fire in Chopin. We can actually regard Chopin as our teacher as he points to the coda and says, 'Look here, this is great. Take heed of this example!' ... The ''Fantaisie-Impromptu'' is perhaps the only instance where one genius discloses to us – if only by means of a composition of his own – what he actually hears in the work of another genius."{{sfn|Oster|1983|p=207}}

[[Carl Bohm]]'s "Meditation", Op. 296, for violin and piano, adds a violin melody over the unaltered first movement of Beethoven's sonata.<ref>[https://imslp.org/wiki/Meditation%2C_Op.296_(Bohm%2C_Carl) IMSLP Carl Bohm, "Meditation"]</ref>

[[Dmitri Shostakovich]] quoted the sonata's first movement in his [[Viola Sonata (Shostakovich)|Viola Sonata, op. 147]] (1975), his last composition. The third movement, where the quotation takes fragmentary form, is called an "Adagio in memory of Beethoven".
