	(RECITAL IN CHINA, 1979) Sonata in B minor, Op. 58, First Movement. ALLEGRO MAESTOSO. The efflorescent B minor sonata is one of Chopin's most opulent creations, and a product of his final years. The first movement is a noble Allegro Maestoso that is formally conservative, sticking as it does religiously to conventional sonata form. Nevertheless, there is a rhapsodic quality to this yearning romance with its melancholy themes, its elegant spaciousness, its oceanic rhythms and above all, its incomparable eloquence.
