Pathétique Old and New

A well-known appropriation by no means unique to this blog. I did, however, notice it before Robert Levin made mention of it in a lecture on Mozart.

Ludwig van Beethoven – Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor 'Pathétique' (1798)

Heard here...
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor (1784)

This blog is intended as a space within which I will share my findings related to classical music appropriation. Many composers in the past have quoted, borrowed, and recycled the themes and melodies of others. Having already noted many such instances, I hope to include the more interesting, and convincing, examples herein.
