The other sonata of the pair, No. 10 in G major, is a real hidden gem. The outpouring of loving emotion in the first movement - outwardly tender, yet full of inner ardour - presents a Beethoven haven't really encountered so far in the cycle. The personal nature of the music is reflected in the parlando ('speaking') effect - music which seems to imply spoken words - particularly in the second theme, with its many repeated, entreating notes. None of those were necessarily new or original, but the sincerity of emotion and the lack of theatricality make the music particularly endearing.
